    Where's my forest gone? To the Grouse...that's where....

    I turned up to a tree-planting session for a local community-owned woodland. There were more volunteers to plant the trees than there were saplings. Heartening but also depressing. If we are to address climate change, associated flooding etc, then big things need to change. I'm vegan and have...

    I can share his website details. Either DM me or I can put it here if no one minds. He's a lovely bloke doing nice things.

    I still do a bit of woodworking for a friend. He's been developing these midcentury handles to retrofit to modern furniture/kitchens etc. They're made from offcuts of hardwoods and ply. Just fitted them to our tired units - they're very tactile and nice to use.

    Thank you. I don't know Krenov. I will look it up.

    Give it a go. I've recycled so many things over the years. This is not one of my finest pieces of work, just a dining table made from the doors that had been used to board our loft when we moved in. Hence the keyholes in places.

    Anyone into classic furniture

    Thank you. They are a few of the things I've made over the years. There's not much classic stuff i really want to own, but if I ever saw and could ever afford an original bit of László Moholy-Nagy's painted furniture i would buy it.

    Don't know how "classic" these are, but a few folk/midcentury-influenced bits that have passed through my hands.

    For Sale Ridley Blast upgraded Mountain/Gravel Bike with drop bars

    I like that. It's not a bike I need, but it looks a lot of fun and is a lot of bike for the money you're asking.

    Mechanical gear cable routing options

    I've thought about this a lot. Even in pretty much the worst slop I prefer the function of exposed gear and brake cables run externally. Obviously, there is a bit of cable outer at the lever and derailleur ends but overall it gives a very clean look without the hassle and potential weakening of...

    I know we're no longer allowed to do politics on here, but I'm loving your analysis applied to your local patch.

    Today's Ride

    Another spin in the Autumn wonderland today! My two companions were on new bikes so it was fairly frisky.

    Today's Ride

    Out in the Autumn lanes again. Within 5 minutes of leaving home it sheeted down with rain and I nearly turned back. But I carried on and it was lovely (in a dark and gloomy sort of a way). Down my favourite lane (Pump Lane). Back home via one of my favourite pubs - The Snowdrop (not named after...
