I got asked today if i could help some tree surgeons drop some trees and lift out of the ditch some big/old willow stumps, also used my JCB as a anchor with a rope which was threaded though the top of the front carriage and back to there truck as it had a winch built in the front , we was working on one of my grass strips around edge of the water course 20220214_092104.mp4 20220214_093926.mp4 20220214_094733.mp4

Rural Crime

GPS stuff is being stolen every week all over the UK and being shipped abroad , i think the newer ones can be blocked if stolen allow i suspect like mobile phones they can be hacked ,the old ones cant be blocked but they can track them once they are connected up to the satellites and they are all in country's abroad and the insurance company's dont go after them ,one dealer down this way lost 15 domes of the roof and i think it was 10 in cab screens one night last year . -
I have been getting the last few hedges cut ,this one not been cut for 5 years ,it looked a mess before i started and it defiantly looked a mess when i finished ,it really needs a tree-shear on a 360 to nip it all of at the bottom and then let it regrow ,its not really my hedge it is around a sewage works that serves the local army camp and it belongs to them ,the Air Force was here years ago and they used to keep it tidy ,i suppose with all the cut backs the armed forces don't have the money these days

I dont think it is OTT ,yes i now there is a lot of dairy farms out in the rural community that are doing a wonderful job on feeding the country ,and i now it is a hard job doing all the milking and feeding over very long hrs ,when i said its daft i mean the councils and government departments should not be promoting this type of thing ,it has got a right to be there but people dont need it ramming down there throat's ๐ that this is what you must be eating , McDonalds last week was sending out loads of emails about there plant burgers ,yes they have to let customers now they have them but we have the choice if we order them (i was in a mcdonalds yesterday and had meat and milk in my coffee) And yes i agree with you on the rainforest it was put there for a reason . If everyone switched over to these new type food thats being pushed these days there would be a hell of a lot more methane released from humans than a load of burping/f##ting cows
