Just got the third degree because I spent £3.50 on replacement sticky pads because my crud mk 3 fell off🤔
Medlars? I'm not even sure I'd recognise one.
I have to agree with this 100%Cycling is such a brilliant safety valve on one's sanity, isn't it?
No matter how grumpy I'm feeling when I set out, I always come back grinning like a loon.
Collected this a couple of days ago. I had been down the road a couple of hours before and it hadn't been there, so I knew it was fresh and it was actually still warm.Forgot to mention, the bit my mum likes about my cycling is that I go foraging. You spot all sorts of comestibles when you're out on the bike that you'd miss when you're driving a car...
So far this autumn, I've had hazelnuts (not a good year for them though), apples, quince pears, meddlars, blackberries by the bucketload and pushing 25 kilos of walnuts. Umm, and three walnut saplings to boot. Thank goodness for the hybrid and the panniers!
They're starting to lift potatoes and onions around here, so there's always the good chance of a few freebies if a trailer is overfull and then hits a pothole...
What does the owner of the field over the hedge think of having roadkill dumped on their crop? Calling the council to collect the carcass might be a better option.Collected this a couple of days ago.

I do pick up roadkill all the time, but usually throw it into the hedge as I don't like seeing it getting flatter and flatter on the road over the weeks, seems disrespectful. Badgers weigh a ton though. And I once misjudged throwing a fox over a hedge and it landed on top of the hedge, it was a right mission getting it down from there.
Yesterday I was out collecting some toadflax seeds for my field which I am trying to develop into a wildflower meadow.
Give me some credit. I usually throw into the hedge, so in effect, it's at the side of the road, just not on the road. The council wouldn't be in the slightest bit interested in collecting carcasses of hedgehogs, squirrels and the like. The fox I mentioned was thrown over a hedge into some scrubland.What does the owner of the field over the hedge think of having roadkill dumped on their crop?

As do I.
I'm rather assuming that went into the crock pot with a glug of red wine, some onions, garlic, carrot, celery, bay and a few juniper berries...
Dargnabit, you've made me hungry now
It can't be my turn to cook, just yet.
