Brogues and antler hats for dogs....

It's been a good weekend. The weather has turned sufficiently cold to warrant camouflage clothing - gloves, scarves, jumpers, and shoes which don't require a wanton display of toe clevage or luridly painted toenails - perfect bliss....from here on in, it's roast chickens, hot soup, and happy days.Still, the impending move to the South plays on my mind. Fereday, bless him, is bearing up, but I know it's tough. He's leaving behind a successful little business for the great unknown. Being practical, he's been applying for jobs already - very interesting stuff, even some roles which I'd love to try out for myself if I wasn't so institutionalised in my current role. But I've a real sense of melancholy as Fereday looks to his future, transplanting himself from the great outdoors to the computer chip-eroded interior landscapes of heavy duty carpeting, modular furniture and the cloned clicky-heeled management brigades. He looks wonderful in his 'new' suit, even though I still have to take it in to the seamstress to have the trollies shortened. He's also inordinantly happy with his first ever pair of really smart shoes - high shine brown brogues... I had to ask him if he wanted to wear them home from the shop he was so enamoured of them... in the end, though, he forebore and they travelled home in the box. An antique pair of cufflinks followed today... we just need to get a couple of nice shirts and ties - it's not critical yet, but I think the longer we go without buying them, the closer we get to Fereday turning up to interview in a lovely suit, shoes and a John Deer tee-shirt - not a good look!!! Looks like we're hopping over the fence pretty soon, everyone - from gardener and wife to a pair of customers... also not a good look!!!But that's at least a couple of months off... tomorrow, it's a day trip to London for me.... carrying along three handmade felt Christmas hats and a pair of felt antlers for my London roomie... amazing what you can accomplish in a weekend, eh??

Thought I'd sign up to this forum. And I hope I'm allowed to post stuff for sale on here as this will be a one off? I have for sale a tiny pro robot, it's not the new edition but it's the bigger one of the two. If anyone is interested then please…

"NFU are very exensive but are very good when it comes to making a claim apparently... but hopefully never have to. I was looking for a combined policy to cover all insurances but according to my broker there isnt one so I end up paying a broker fee…"

"Agree with you Graham, we have a client with a long run of Laurel which we only cut once a year mid june and have done for over 20 years, the client is fussy with a capital F ! It's a superb evergreen hedge which is bomb proof.
As to this so called…"
