So I am getting an itch for a 4x4 again. The last two years I have run a van and been very happy, particularly as I get nearly 55 mpg. I have only once had a problem on a shoot but have had to rely on others for some of my adventures. So thinking of a 4x4 in addition! Whilst not a lover of land rovers for comfort I have seen some good Defender 90s about at 20 years old. Alternatively an older Isuzu is a possibility and will offer greater comfort. Assuming I buy a vehicle in good condition what are the members views on longevity of Defender/pickup? This isn’t my principal vehicle and I will keep the van too. thanks!

Eley Gastight Cartridges

I have an unopened box in 10 bore and a part box for a 2 5/8” hammergun I bought. I fired a few then held them back, loading my own. The smell of a fired case would make you high 😂😂 -
Enjoy your time here and don’t be too serious!

My son was until recently an area manager at Poundland. He said the problem is the associated violence. His attitude was items can be replaced but his staff can’t. He would sooner somebody walked out with stuff than a member chased them out of the shop to be stabbed! He was constantly dealing with staff being threatened or worse

Yep get to a rental place or a place that specialises in vintage clothing. The Ballroom Emporium Oxford would be worth a try near you.

Great photos!

A pal of mine breeds and works them. He is a seasoned dog man and was A Panel spaniel judge. He always describes them as a handful so……..up to you! I know people love the minor breeds thankfully but there is a reason most fowlers use labradors!

Ever thought of taking up fly tying if you don’t do it already? Wets the appetite for the coming season when hopefully the weather will be better for a fly rod!

That is fantastic . If we hadn’t been away I would have come over for a look. Hope it goes well!

Don’t beat yourself up about those last few weeks. You did all you could and behaved responsibly. They aren’t humans and can’t tell us what is wrong. It’s the vets job to diagnose and yours to follow the advice. Even then the vet has to follow a thread in a case like yours so I wouldn’t be overly critical there either. It’s always horrid losing a dog but it’s what we sign up for when we pick our pup. Hope you get over it quickly!

Will pm you tomorrow

For me it is when I walk out across the Merse for a morning flight and hear the skylarks singing on high. I heard them this morning!

Brother in law has lived in France for 18 years and on face it seems idyllic but…..he just makes ends meet as a pensioner and is poor as a church mouse. We visited last year and beautiful as it is I wouldn’t go there!

It put a goose on the deck this morning on the shore as it has been doing for 150 years or more!

Who can recommend a good quality non stick pan? Ours are knackered and I don’t want to buy rubbish. Just needs to suit an induction hob. Thanks
