We have quite a lot of Red Kites here now…..and there is a bloke that has had an infestation of mice at the sheds at his house, so he has been trapping them, chucking them on his allotment and after a few days the Kites were coming everyday to pick them up!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Pleasant thoughts, Clive….
It’s been chucking it down for a couple of hours now and the wind has a real bite to it again!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Soon back to normal, just been and picked some Rhubarb for my Mum and it’s started raining again, so had to make a run for it….well more of a fast hobble!

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
Sounds like you had a very successful day, Clive!
I chain-harrowed one of the fields today, a job I really enjoy, as it brings back happy childhood memories of working on the local farms….

Re: Spring Bits and Bobs.
This is a bit more like it but, as Clive said, it’s a job to know what jobs to do first….started really early this morning and got work proper done, and then shot over the allotments and planted 120 potato sets…..now time for a spot of lunch!
