Thanks Stanley I think I will just drop the cat down---

Ha ha Kevin, we could use the cat!!! We have a multifuel burner which goes into a tight angle so we cannot get upwards at all really. I keep putting it off but I am sure it does need doing.

Not got one of those hatches Tizer, BUT, got a small grandson who could be put to good use

If we did that Stanley the fire would rush straight up the chimney. Does anyone have a tip to sweep a really narrow chimney with a difficult bend in it. It used to join another chimney which was off set in the room behind and then go upwards??? Any ideas would be really welcome as it has to be done,...

Mine automatically logs me in, it very rarely asks me to login/password.

Sorry Thomo, it's probably the only sad thing which comes along with having animals. Horses, dogs, cats, whatever, the loss is always the same, it doesn't get any easier. The good thing is feeling is as you do---it shows you cared.

Our first swallow has finally arrived. Last night I watched a large fox sat down our field surveying the scene, when I went for the binoculars it went.

Could be the male one Stanley in his courting gear, they run up and down trees.

Stanley, could it be a nuthatch??

We have no swallows yet----they are late----probably held up by the weather down south.

Loved it

I would have thought there's a bit of a hole in the market for second hand ones.
It's the hole which is the expensive bit, terrible job getting them to hold their shape.

Ha ha, I did try stamping on them a bit to flatten them out, but, I fell through------beggar of a job to get back up

I am struggling with the packing, if I lay them on top of each other they fall through and disappear, I have tried overlapping them but the same thing seems to happen.

The fox was in the field beyond ours this morning, probably after young lambs.

These things happen, just one of those things.

What a good idea Whyperion.

Crikey, I bet they will be ringing you up to book another appointment.

I give blood in Leyland, book a time, in, out, not a problem. Everyone should do it. Unless there is a health reason for not donating, I think everyone should and if not, they should not be given donations if needed. That I have no doubt will have opened a can of worms. They should have a slogan----...

I was outside at about 8pm last night and could hear two barn owls talking to each other, one stayed still, the other seemed to move about, but I couldn't see them.

Now I understand ;-) Everyone of you will laugh at this! I said so.....On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's a ...

I noticed that yesterday Moh, I thought it had been got rid of-------lancashire terminology.

I use it too, it has a great search facility where you can search the whole county. Well worth using.

If you google Hollin Top farm Roughlee, it comes up with a survey of lands Roughlee Booth 1809, put on by Pendle Forest History Group name owner occupant acres/rods/perches value £SD 6 Hollin Top Farm Wm Brown Robert Hargreaves 20 03 09 22/00/00 Gloria

Found Hollin Top and there is also a Hollin Farm---- put Roughlee into multimap and click on the ordnance survey, they both come up.
Coincidentally we looked at Hollin Top many years ago, we were told it was on an old pack horse route and used as a stop off place.
