If you do watch it , the bell ringer had six takes to say his lines .

Just watched it SL,  lovely views of a grand bit of countryside. Spotted you driving past as well, if I’m honest, that was the best bit

Got a message of another chicken killer so I popped up the unit. Nothing!

I did also take the muffpower with me to visit another local farm for a rat. I took some experimental reloads.  15, 13 and 12 grains of green dot powder and 3/4oz of shot. I used 15g first and it just about killed a big rat.I didn't shoot they other reloads.

I'm going to try 16 and 16.5 grains next.

I returned to the chicken units. Nothing so went home only to hear my first barking fox!

Probably on its way to the chickens! I need to visit about 10pm next time.

This is what I want

I went to feed this morning because I couldn’t get there yesterday and at 2 degrees and a hard ground frost I couldn’t of been happier, I got there just after first light so I could see what headed where after coming off roost, I’m glad I did because I’ve got a big group coming through the farm, behind the caravan at the back and then down towards what I know as the tip, I was sure these would of gone to the oak wood drive, but no, they seem to like going the long way round to the tip, unless you see them you will never guess where these idiots decide to go 

See any deer this morning?

Any one hearing fox's yauping yet? Heard my first last night.

I’ve not heard them shouting yet around where I live, but I am starting to see a good few wandering about on a morning, so they are out looking for love ( or a free feed )

Just got back from bagging another tonne of wheat up, £227 a tonne and it doesn’t look like it’s going to come down any time soon

I think it will be going up Stav. A farmer I know isn’t selling any at the moment, reckons he’s waiting until Christmas because it’ll keep going up until then....

It would be worth paying the extra 20 odd quid not to have to bag it up myself

that’s what they were saying at the farm, they are hanging on to it, he said milling wheat is over £270 now and he said you should be glad you don’t feed them rapeseed because that’s never been anywhere near the prices it’s at now
