Thats the sorta sized dog Im aiming to get eventually..keep us posted please

He's lovely, I'm sure you will iron out his issues. Ive not yet found another post Molly RIP...but once the right one comes along I perhaps will relent.

2 hours to man with van time..hope your move goes ok..enjoy

I guess so but it sounds so sad ATM..it cry's

I said lots about this last thread that dealt with it...its great to get people out but....they don't look what they are doing and thats daft n dangerous

Here at Horror House I have pair of buzzards that soar on the thermals..quite often they are mobbed by crows or magpies especially if they get to close to nesting sites. For the second year running their single offspring they evict from the nest has sat crying on telegraph pole half way down the swampy field...so tempted to take it a red cross parcel..but having read above I don't fancy catching it a fresh rodent so maybe not. The adult birds seem to check it out but I guess its there to be independent.

Thats great, pleased for you..now enjoy..you'll soon get used to the 8 legged ones..on a frosty morning their spun webs from tiller to roof and beyond glisten...its very pretty.

Its very much dependent on area I think as tow path I wandered regularly still has dog poo trees and very few bins.

What do they do with it?..does it have use as fertiliser on fields?

Says link pulled

I still feel it's some kind of shower system. I had a shower once under a system like that...no amount of sunshine made the water warm..

Perhaps like neighbourhood watch a canal boat watch but not intrusive curtain twitching..just be aware..

Knotweed responds well to stem injection..Ive had area treated around my property to prevent invasion into my land. A few "bonsai" type re growths have struggled through and these will be sprayed later this season..the area will then have watch n wait brief.. Post stem injection last year, once all had died off I cut and burnt all dead plants and whatever crowns I could get up. This year most of area is dock weeds. I would like to extend treatment area but this relies on co-operation from local farmers..one of whom seems to think all they have to do is scrape it all up and burn...if the root system is disturbed it will spread..if the root system of stem injected plants is disturbed it will relive.. Stem injection puts knotweed into dormant state and as long as its undisturbed it remains that way. They are trialling a bug but its early days and also some electric zapping tool..that sounds interesting as it wouldn't then use strong chemicals. The area I live is infested with both knotweed and himalayan balsam..there is a worrying attitude of ignore..in fact one of my neighbours claimed not to see any.. For mortgage purposes they want 21ft clearance around properties..however some lenders still refuse. Once I knew I had a problem I just researched and treated...ignore and it'll spread.

Good luck to all the watchers, I hope she's found soon. I have been looking around Braunston area but haven't seen anything.

Welcome, lots of info on here if you utilise search facility and then ask specifics. Hope you find what you want. Patty
