| Only adders, and I haven't seen too many of those. We don't have them in the woods strangely, although I have seen one in the wood the other side of the main road. Grass snakes are not venomous, but c ... |

| Sounds like a very suitable drying shed then. The drums sound interesting, but no idea where we could get them round here. I also don't want to have too many such things in the woods as I don't want a ... |

| I am always glad I live in the UK where we don't have very many nasty creatures. That makes me even more glad. |

| I wouldn't store firewood in sealed drums as even dry firewood contains some moisture and can start to produce mould or fungus. The best storage for it is a shed with good ventilation; open sides with ... |

Well at least most of them made it Jam Lady, and you seem to have done your bit by keeping the other animals off the eggs.
Sean, that is rather sad, but I suppose sparrowhawks have to eat too. The ... |

As long as you enjoy chopping firewood, that is the thing to do. Some people meditate; you chop firewood.
I have enough besom heads for the time being, so just have some handles to prepare, and th ... |

That could be a very useful study, and one worth publishing if it works.
The only birds I have ever become really friendly with are robins. I suppose I move around too much, but robins will often ... |

Hope you have a good time at the show. It is a pity you will never have such a good vegetable garden, but you can at least grow some things, even if not the full range you could.
We were thinking ... |
