    is there any Ultra running farmers on here?

    well done on your 1.25 half, that's very impressive! the training in my mind is just time on feet, I run 5-6 days a week and do strength three times. but like you say its all in the head! the fell running looks great fun, wish we had some of that in Essex!

    lake digging company recommendations east anglia

    my first lake flew through planning with no real problem. my second lake was awful. PEA's, NBG's then stupid conditions put on the approval which I am appealing now. it seems they are treating me like a house builder being forced to do this to offset biodiversity loss and want to legally enforce...

    Behaviour towards dealers

    when I worked as a grain buyer the abuse you would get from farmers when there was bugs found in wheat, or high moisture etc. we were called all sorts of things, which is galling when you know from the lorry driver the farmer was mixing crap in from other sheds trying to blend it away when the...

    Dog walking field

    my planning has gone past public consultation and has no comments in reply from parish council, highways and environmental health. fingers crossed should pass ok. which is good as I have another application for another separate project burning a hole in my hands waiting to go in once this passes!
