MikeHorton Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Bloody work for me 3am and just finished. On the positive side I kegged some homebrew Welsh red ale, and started some cider something to look forward to in a month's time when it's ready to enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mawsley Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Did you ride the B6047? Cracking road that, plenty of fast sweeping bends 6047 - out to Lincs, down to Stamford, off to Uppingham, back on the B664 (for my money far better than the 6047 - but shhhhh) where I got serious air over a humpback bridge, and then home. 120 miles of smiles.

Yes must admit the 664 is brilliant too and slightly more technical (not to mention less travelled). I think I know the bridge you’re talking about too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifteen minutes later and I found four of them clustered around a bloke climbing out of a hedge on the hairpin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 First spring honey. I extracted one super for a little lad who has horrible hay fever. Local honey makes all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Hmmm....I have three bait hives in the grounds, basically small hives to attract swarms looking for a new home. Since a colony of bees cost around £200 free bees are good to attract.All three have scouts checking them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Fro Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Plastering Where did you get the plaster? Everywhere within 20 miles of me has been out of it for months! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggie Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 [mention]Mr Fro[/mention] same here! When decorating the hallway I took off the hand rail as we are getting a new one. It left an approx 10cm high by 2cm deep gouge all way up the stairs.No plaster to be found anywhere. In fact the woman at Screwfix actually laughed at me All I could find was little 600g tubs of ready made filler. I bought 7 or 8 of those instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggie Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 There is a field in walking distance full of cows so plenty of manure for the binding I have actually made the flour paste before to do a quick patch of some wallpaper that my cat had used as a scratching post. was only an approx 3ft section but it worked!! This was back in the day when the only transport I had was the Wifes car and she was at work so I had to get creative on my days off sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
