Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
It has not got over zero degrees all day, scrape the car windows, go to the doctors to collect a prescription and the windows were starting to freeze again at two in the afternoon.

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
That is horrendous, I'd have thought you would qualify for some sort of help, either with the drainage, or in some form of compensation for your lost crops.

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
I can't think of much that's edible that will like their feet wet in winter, will rice grow in your neck of the woods?

Frosty here for several nights now, we were out chasing the Aurora last night, but the moon was so bright it was hard to see it, you can just see green curtains in the centre of the image

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
Seemingly Pumpkins taste similar to butternut squashes, so should make a good soup, though I have never knowingly grown or eaten a Pumpkin.

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
Thanks Tiger, found a pair on there & thanks to Black Friday got a huge discount of £100! Mid waterproof whatever that means but from the pic it looks like the lace up area might be the weak link but not planning to jump in deep puddles. They should have bellows tongues, so they shouldn't let w...

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
You want some hill walking shoes, I pay a bit more for Merrell shoes, but there are others. Be aware whilst breathable membrane shoes/boots are good they are not water proof, just water resistant, something like these perhaps. https://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/womens/footwear/walking-boots/sal:view/?&...

Re: Oh Deer
I'm not so keen on Red deer venison, a bit too strong for me, I prefer a Roe, which being smaller should be less expensive.

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
Even sleepers rot if sitting in the wet, were I to do mine again I would line the inside edges with the pvc that is used to do the soffits on houses, just so they are not always wet.

Re: Autumn Bits and Bobs.
Severe floods again here, we got to our doctors appointments, but an eight mile detour was required to get home on the only road passable which is now only passable in certain vehicles.

Re: Oh Deer
Re wilding is in principle a very noble thing, I would love to be able to go to my local forest and film Wolves, Lynx, Bears and Wild Boar(I might need a reinforced hide to sit in!), but is it fair on those animals? When they lived in the UK the population was measured in thousands not millions, the...

Re: Oh Deer
Red Kites are primarily scavengers with small feet that are unsuited to hunting, this actually means they are doing us a service removing roadkill or other corpses from the land, unlike Sea Eagles, that are very much hunters and there are some serious conflicts happening in Scotland that will no dou...
