Made from one baked beans tin and one SMA baby milk tin. Doesn't take much wood as it works by returning the gases given off as the wood burns. I've since painted it black with stove paint and made a little pan stand out of a tuna can. Also made a leather pouch for it from a bit I had in the garage from Melissa's old sofa we had in Hebden Bridge. 😁
Having not seen any Reds for most of the summer I was starting to wonder if we were scaring them off but this last week they have become easier to spot as the leaves come off the trees and they are bolder as they concentrate on feeding on all those beech nuts, pine cones and Hawthorn berries.
Melissa wanted to go to Hawes Community bonfire on November the 5th so we had our own bonfire at the field the night before on Mischief night instead. The weather was perfect and the fireworks spot on with no loud bangs which pleased Morris though disappointed Edwin.
Picked a spot and planted the first of the two apple trees we bought at the weekend. This one is "Scrumptious" variety. We'll have to wait and see....
