    I've 10 acres of ancient forest, big old oaks and huge ash trees, douglas firs and spruce pines with 6' diameter trunks. I grab the dogs and go for a wander through every now and then, it's a nice place for a wander. The wildlife like it too. There's owls and hawks, mink and a family of ducks. It's like a little world within the world.
    How do the mink and ducks get along?

    A bit of a Schrodingers cat conundrum I'd imagine.

    That's a turf bucket. :)

    And a queencake packet on top because I didn't light the fire tonight, what with it being 21C outside and the thermal socks and all :)

    Thats not a tree. Thats a banshee or a wraith or something very scary.

    If you get hot in bed tonight, don't stick one leg out. That thing is going to get you. Two legs is fine btw.

    My crops are all harvested, my dear feathered friend :)

    I await the onset of winter with great joy and wondrous excitement.

    And Mexican lager.

    Don't mean fcuk all if you don't show us a pic in the dark :P

    I'd have to pull on the wellies and schlep my ar5e down the fields, effort.

    The ducks and the mink keep to their own sides. I've a red setter that fixates on the ducks and spends its days "pointing" at them and a staffie that spend its days trying to catch the minks, so fun for everyone.

    Trees take aversion to Mexican lager. They deny it, but everybody knows. Don't let it spot you through the window. That's all I'm saying.

    No need for a flash camera then. You could snap away in the dark to your hearts content.
