Wonderful part of the world. I did a few bits in the chewing gum factory at Exeter and it’s great to see fallow just grazing outside the office windows. Are they building much new housing down there like they are in the Home Counties ? The factory is in plymouth not that shithole, they've got the prison... Might be why you got the two places confused 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tried explaining what 'nesting' was to my youngest lad AGAIN, after he was showing interest in the outdoors a while back. 'What's the point in that?' He asked. Tried explaining, 'huh, seems pointless to me' he scoffed, so I let him go back to his bedroom, and his FAAACKIN X-BOX LIVE or whatever it's f****n called!! Lol Just tell him the buzz of finding a chaffinch nest with eggs in the spring was our equivalent to him going out to catch a pokemon 2 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unless it's tipping down, she'll be with my eldest lad, her father, taking the dogs out with him. Our youngest lad, well, I thought he was taking an interest a year or two ago, but it was a pretty swift fleeting interest lol. I think the gene bypassed him lol. Like you say, what can we do?

Last time he went, was with his cousin last summer, only about three times at most Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I can get the eleven year old lad out and about, but the 13 year old just point blank refuses. He's almost as tall as me so he reckons he's big enough to make his own decisions. He was my best mate before this puberty growth spurt malarkey. All he does now is grow some more and become more negative each passing day. I said to him just yesterday " I won't be around forever so make the most of me being about while you can". "Not bothered Papa I'd rather stay here in my room and play on my xbox." f****n kids! I had no bother at all with my sons when they were growing up but my grandsons are compeletely different. Computers are a menace. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
