Occasionally! I enjoy trying to get good pictures though (some posted go back as far as 07). Even with average pictures others can see or share in some of the things I've been lucky enough to do.

You left the best to last Tim .

I love that last photo of your dog. I am in awe of the time you must have invested and it must be hugely rewarding for you to see an animal that you have trained perform so well.

Max is a gem for sure Rushy. There are a few rough edges as I am no professional trainer. He is a natural hunter that I have tried to place controls on and I have also tried to teach him some etiquite. He is definetly an extention of my capabilities. My previous dog (Jack) got run over three weeks before the season and I soon worked out how many places I rely on a good dog to hunt.

I won't disagree. I was wrapped to catch up with that sucker. Great fun.

Great photo's and memories, something that no man can take away from you.

Thanks Kumoe. I have Picasa, but haven't really used it much. I tend to download and edit on a quite large Fuji programme I have because I know how to "forum" scale pictures on that. It is clunky and old school I suspect. I also have a reasonable Canon editing programme I don't use. I am in a bit of a state with my pic editing/ storing

Cheers Tahr-Bound. I have an external hard drive and suspect it has half a million copies of the half million pictures clogging up my poor lappy

Although most of these pics are ones I wouldn't use anywhere else I enjoy going over them and it would seem others quite enjoy a reminice with me. I have to harden up and delete folders and delete completely useless photo's at the time they are downloaded.

Position in the oven is also huge as to what you are trying to achieve. I am no Ramsey (though I can swear better and with more passion) but I do mean scones and most roasts aren't to shabby using the woodstove.

Interestingly I do alot of cooking of large chunks of meat in a hooded BBQ and with the exception of one healthy fire due to a very fatty leg of Two Tooth have had great success.

My parents have a Rayburn...what I love about these stoves is that the kitchen becomes the centre of the house because of the wonderful stove...in the cold months the house is always warm...

Found a few 2010 + 2011 pics off Trailcam at my home pond. Not a heap of action but gets better every year








The ducks did not seem to mind the camera.
The plant in front was a a pain had 250 images of it..

I may have put this up in here last year? You will have seen a few of the pictures earlier in this thread. It made me smile and think Saturday morning isn't rolling around quickly enough.
