Although I do take a lot of photo's most days, most of the photo's are of my projects.. Every once in a while I like to take a few snaps just for fun and because I enjoy it. Now don't worry, I'm not about to post the clock photo's again Living where I do out in sticks we do get a lot of wild life and some of it comes through the garden which is handy Meet Bert.. A green woodpecker.. A lot less green woodpecker A pheasant strutting his stuff. A chilling rabbit. Some smaller wildlife, a dragonfly. And a butterfly feasting on a blackberry. Bluebells. One year the lawn exploded into colour as the clover went into overdrive.. It looked so nice I didn't want to cut the lawn Some photo's look best in black and white.. And some have to be taken in the dark A few slow moving mushrooms.. And these last two I have no idea what they are as Photobucket is playing up and all I can see is the link!

As some of you will know I've been rabbiting on about a milling machine for a few days.. Well today I went to look at it and thought it looked a handy bit of kit.. So I bought it.. I have no idea who made it as it doesn't have a maker plate on it anywhere, but it does have the feel of a very well built machine.. I'm guessing it's at least 50 years old! Quite shockingly I have found a space in the shack for it that doesn't involve having to move loads of stuff around, in fact all I have to do is move the press a few inches to the right.. Oh, and build a small bench for the mill Here's a few photo's, if anyone can help with who made it, I'd love to know A spare motor and some milling wheel thingys.. You wouldn't want to get your fingers in the way of this one when it's on full spin!

A number of copies of Amateur Gardening turned up today, in one dating from 1965 I found this advert...

Here we have few pics of today's visit to sedgemoor vintage rally in Somerset
