Aspect Forestry and Rural Management

@johnfielding001 No problem at all. Maybe after their relegation yesterday they may have to review things. Excellent photographs. Thank you.

@AspectForest Thank you. Sorry to miss that.

Aerial view of the Leicester City F.C. training ground and performance centre at Seagrave, north of Leicester. Officially opened in December 2020, the vast £100 million complex became the club’s new headquarters after leaving the long-serving Belvoir Drive training ground, which had been used since the 1960s. The state-of-the-art site covers around 185 acres and includes 21 pitches, an indoor training arena, sports science and medical facilities, rehabilitation suites, hydrotherapy pools and accommodation for academy players. The curved main building and domed indoor pitch hall were designed to create one of the most advanced football training centres in Europe. The development formed part of Leicester City’s wider modernisation under the ownership of the late Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, whose investment transformed the club during the 2010s, culminating in their extraordinary 2015–16 Premier League title win. The training centre is now used by the first team, academy and women’s teams and sits beside the former Park Hill golf course landscape in rural Leicestershire. #LeicesterCity #Seagrave #aerial

@jharphamtrees @RateMySausage @somersetlevel 😋

@AspectForest @RateMySausage @somersetlevel You’ve got to have them chief.

Steaks tonight, only little ones mind, the old boy in the butchers is keeping an eye on my figure. @RateMySausage and @somersetlevel these be alright for you

@billat_foxhill Jenkinsons take it back to their holding yard. I believe it is graded, some goes to products like peat free compost. Some ends up at power stations locally - Stowmarket and Snetterton, where it is co-fired alongside straw.

@AspectForest Where does it go? We have wood burning power plant at Sandwich, I see quite a lot of their wagons around in Kent

Our site in the Norfolk Brecks was wrapped up at the end of last week. 270 tons of brash resulting from 9ha of thinning at the end of the winter, was chipped and collected by A.W. Jenkinsons.

@1901gennelm They are, although the occasional one does have difficulty following simple instructions. 😉🙄🤣

@AspectForest I always found that the Jenkinsons. Drivers were always a jolly and helpful lot .

@PaulGri29126854 @jharphamtrees @julian_voelcker @countryslidepod @RichPrideaux 💯

@jharphamtrees @julian_voelcker @countryslidepod @RichPrideaux No that’s poor Amy herding cats!

Considering dipping my ear into the world of podcasts with the @countryslidepod - let's see how it goes.....

@julian_voelcker @countryslidepod 100% recommend giving it a listen. If I was you go into it feet first and sign up to become a patron. (£3/month). You get the after show content that’s usually unsuitable for public broadcast and the WhatsApp group. Sensible, useful content and piss taking in equal measures.

@TomLaneUK Great stuff Tom.

A real pleasure to be delivering content for part of yesterday’s countryside learning day, hosted by the team at SRUC Elmwood College for St. Columbas Primary school.

These were photos were taken this morning at Upper Hollesley Common which show the march of pine and birch and the slow but inevitable loss of a globally rare habitat if not managed well i.e. remove the scrub.

The UK imports over 80% of its timber and wood fibre needs. That’s a national security risk hiding in plain sight. Sign the petition to the UK government calling for timber to be treated as a strategic national material. 👉 confor.nationbuilder.com/sign_petition confor.nationbuilder.com/sign_petition?…

@PaulGri29126854 @rob_cannell @CRCuthbert @mikeonthehills Cheeky!

@AspectForest @rob_cannell @CRCuthbert @mikeonthehills You need to spend more time in the cab 😁

A pretty rubbish photo from the tractor seat. Pair of common Cranes joined me this morning. Between Boyton marshes and HMP Hollesley @CRCuthbert @mikeonthehills @AspectForest

Stunning morning again.

@AndyWoodturner Completely agree. I get this occasionally.

1/3 of the cost of making them, is *not* "regular" work, it would be a regular loss. I need work, but for fuck's sake. Requested that they don't contact me again. I'm so fucking sick of this shite.

Just been accused, via reply to my email giving cost for a job, of "destroying our dreams". Presumably because I don't work for nothing, if, "If you could reduce the workshop rate to around £10 hr", is any guide. But they did offer the carrot of "this would mean regular work". So

27 Years ago today, I almost froze to death, but was saved by the wonderful rescue services in Alaska. My life changed beyond comprehension and I was advised to ‘get off on the sick’ for the rest of my career. I did quite the opposite..🧵
