Well done mate, thats looks a very high tree what sort/length of lofting poles are they? They (the decoys in the tree) really look well in the photo.

I have just been out in the back garden and emptied the ice out of the bird bath and filled it with fresh water and put seed out in the feeder in the front garden and put seed on an old table out the back garden. They need help in this weather. :unsure: edited to say good video and commentary well done.

Well, I have never seen owt like that before, and I would tell you now I dont think I would have fancied eating that one either :unsure:

Send me a pm if you want to come if you can make the place and new times.

You are very welcome mate, I am just glad that you enjoyed it. Best regards Hcc

Just noticed that in my emails, we had already agreed earlier in the week not to shoot ducks tomorrow on our shoot.

Very sad.

Morning now promised to wing nut

PM reply

If anyone who has never been beating for pheasant before and would like to try it then I could offer such a morning. Firstly let me say it is a small syndicate shoot and you will not get paid and you will have to bring your own sandwiches and flask. You will need wellies and warm clothing and a stick. Oh and a good nights sleep beforehand. That said if you want to experience a good laugh before you apply for your first paid beating job you will learn something. You will have to be prepared meet me at DFS car park at Darley Dale Matlock next Saturday at between 8.00am and 8.15am at the latest, we finish at about 1.30pm. Please pm me a landline number and I will ring you, that is if anyone is interested. I am not trying to exploite anyone but I just thought I would ask. edited time change as we are not now shooting ducks in the morming so not 7 now 8am.

I have never shot one or eaten one but I am surprised that you didn't like it most folk who have shot them rave about them. Same as I say I cant comment as I have never had one. Good shooting anyway

Let us know how you get on as I for one would be very interested in the adventures of building an oil burning stove. I hope it goes well. If I was more handy I would love to make one for my freezing garage Good luck.

Talk talk been ok for me, free calls keeps missus happy. Broadband etc, yes is seems ok.

Been sat out this morning having my breakfact on the veranda, red hot here, could do with a bit of snow or ice to put in my drink. Sunny Chesterfield

I use BB's for foxes and they kill em stone dead, if your on target that is :blink:

Barlow Hunt may be out but I have no contacts, sorry.

Heladoxa - I think you have covered it perfectly.

Butter and a traditional butter dish (when I can spread it on my bread without ripping it!)

I think I agree with the insulation solution, cavity wall and loads of loft inulation and check the draughts around the windows and doors. (edited to say insulation as inulation is a special thing you can only get in Chesterfield )

There is nothing more anoying when it rips your bread when spreading hard butter. Thanks for your answers

I am not up on steel shot but is that what it does?, or is it because they were close shots? Apart from that I bet you really enjoyed it, well done. :look:

How do you keep your butter soft in the butter dish in this weather, its not even in the fridge!!!!!! :look:

You could grow a long moustache like a walrus.

Oh no not the fox and the gun saga, who let that one out of the bag?
