the last house in Wales Bill before i moved to Scotland when i put the foundations for my loft down there was a pair of "woodies" building a nest in the hawthorn trees surrounding the garden . the cock was very tame coming as close as a few feet away from me many times. he actually stole a pencil i had resting on a column and flew up to the nest with it

baa baa baa bad boy with comments like that , Kingdom getting nervous about the competition after dark ?? EWE know what i mean

best of luck with that day in court . thank you Gail .

well if the prices keep increasing at this rate , we well may see a return to that way of thinking maybe ??

good speech oooh bit un-sure about that Bill , i am full time "house-husband" anything went wrong would mean more elbow grease from me brilliant , all posotive comments , so "pine needles" it is then

do save the corn sacks to store sticks for the wood-burner , dont think i could afford to pay kids to collect them ,just another job to add to my never ending list

bit harsh Lewis eh . would,nt want to try that now , can just see 200 doo,s sitting on the kitchen window trying to get in

and i wont be scaling 60 and 80 foot trees . will take a risk Ryan with those that have fallen. will fetch them in the house to dry then , wont be any problem,s (i hope)

well that,s me at the school gates come the weekend , garden rake and bin liner in hand

would they be O.K. to collect and store now Bill ??

think they maybe a bit on the small side in my opinion.

have access to some locally , and because of last night,s rain am un-sure about how good they,ll be now , how to treat or store ??

oh dear , assuming your car and keys taken ?? yes let,s hope he gets his come-uppance.

with the price increase on tobacco stalks going through the roof ,what,s your opinion on pine needles pro,s and con,s. ?

yes read that Gail . sorry to hear the day was spoilt ?? .

dai iawn Gail , and who,s photo is that in this week,s B.H.W. page 58 . .

well done , great effort. .

would let it go at one night George . but it,s remember remember the 5th of November and every bloody night until a week after christmas

shame you cant buy it by the barrow load for that price now . would be lucky getting a handfull for 75pence .

welcome .

oops

take it steady Tooshy .

my cousin bought 20 ybs in when he set up a loft at his home ,from Louella , a few went in the bin straight away . from memory paid £100 a piece ,after racing was left with 4 ,3 cocks and a hen . on widowhood 3 cocks raced well , 1 exceptionally so . the hen became mother and grandmother to countless winners at club ,fed and special,s.

yes , and use it often to speak to my children in Wales and Daughter in New Zealand .

welcome .
