A SPECIAL DAY ON THE 110 FARM,,,,FOR OUR FRIEND ANNE,,,

Added: 2026-05-19

[00:00:01]Blinking heck.

[00:00:03]Good morning. Or should I say right good morning from quite a chilly G cross.

[00:00:11]Dawn's just waiting for a taxi to pick up. I've got to come up come out load me van up for work. Uh look at this pe here of me mother's hanging over the wall.

[00:00:22]You know the smell from peers are beautiful as well. Uh, but I always think, you know, nature is a really good at looking after itself. But with peies, the heads are too big for the bodies and they without staking them, they just collapse. So, uh, anyway, it's all looking nice out here, apart from the weather and a bird that's done a big dollop on me wall. In fact, it's had a right big dollop all the way along. So, I'm hopefully going to get some plants this week and get them in this wall, get them going for the summer. Uh I keep changing my mind on shall they have herbs, shall I have plants and I've been looking at ideas for worms and I quite think that things like orcishes uh orases saxopridge white rock mixed in with lavenders will be quite nice. And it's starting to blinking rain heavy now.

[00:01:15]Absolutely chucking it down now. Dawn's gone back upstairs. Taxi is on its way.

[00:01:20]is not here yet to put a rain coat on.

[00:01:23]That is horrendous.

[00:01:25]>> I'll see you.

[00:01:25]>> Right. See you.

[00:01:26]>> Bye.

[00:01:27]>> See you.

[00:01:32]>> Right. Let's have a look at Nicola in there.

[00:01:38]>> You all right?

[00:01:40]>> You excited?

[00:01:41]>> Very excited.

[00:01:42]>> Can't wait.

[00:01:42]>> I bet you can't leave this. It's awful, isn't it?

[00:01:45]>> Awful, isn't it?

[00:01:47]>> Where's Rick?

[00:01:48]>> He's just taking a dog out. All right.

[00:01:50]Very good. Right. Have a good one then.

[00:01:52]See you. Tada.

[00:01:56]>> MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THEM, B. MAKE SURE THEY GO.

[00:01:59]>> SO, here we are in sunny Portugal, and we're at our friend's house, Mike and Julie's, and I'm just showing you the garden, which is absolutely amazing.

[00:02:14]So, I'll just take you around the front.

[00:02:28]No, I said that.

[00:02:32]>> And there they are.

[00:02:36]>> These beautiful flowers.

[00:02:38]>> Hello. Here they all are.

[00:02:41]>> Merry Christmas.

[00:02:42]>> Merry Christmas.

[00:02:45]>> Well, it seems to stop raining. And I've just got back up to well I've just finished at hands actually. I'm just having a look at the lettuce now.

[00:02:51]They're doing grand aren't they them? Uh might have to transplant a few of them but we've got mixed varieties here.

[00:02:58]We've got different leaved ones. These are the cosmos that are coming up nicely now. These are the cosmos even though they do still look like marolds to me.

[00:03:08]Uh this is more lettuce that I sold last week. So that's all coming up well. Uh got mixed cosmos again there. So, as I say, the parsley are doing well. Uh, what I've done today, I've just puted a load of plants uh in the garden. I've tidied in the rockery, tidied the pond now, and uh generally just done a load of weeding for an hour. But look at these forget me knots in here now.

[00:03:33]The strawberry bed's doing well now as well. Got plenty of strawberry flowers coming. The plants are spreading nicely.

[00:03:40]Looking at this vagilia as well. That's all flowering nice now. No signs of Oh, as I see no signs of any flowers on the honeysuckle, but there are there are one or two coming through. See there now?

[00:03:51]Yeah, only one or two, but they are coming.

[00:03:54]And this clatus, well, that's something else. Really, really nice that. So, I've tidied all this border out. I've weeded, cut back, planted primulas, cut back daffodils. I've planted all stuff around here. More plants in here. Uh, put some pellets down. I'm not a big fan of slug pilllets. I've got to be honest.

[00:04:13]Anything that kills anything I'm not a big fan of, but um we we have got to maintain it a little bit because uh she spent quite a few bob on all these plants and uh there's there's a lot of snails there will just munch their way through the lot of it. Right, I've just had a bit of a tidy up. There's a lot of dandelions coming up in the lawn. Uh but they they've they've actually all flowered now.

[00:04:40]Right. Are you ready for your adventure?

[00:04:43]>> Yes. Yes.

[00:04:45]>> So, we've got uh I'm taking now up to the uh top 60 to see the Highland cows and anything else that we can see along the way.

[00:04:54]>> Yes.

[00:04:56]>> Here they come. Come on then.

[00:05:00]Come on.

[00:05:02]There we go.

[00:07:41]>> So, we've got an to the top. We come to the very top of the field. So, she's had a guided tour. She's seen the bees, seen the cows. Uh, so I think we'll uh drop down to the bottom bit now and have a look down there. So, >> so here are Liz.

[00:07:58]>> I say here are Liz, I've got your mom down on the canal now.

[00:08:56]Oh, yes.

[00:09:00]I'm getting out.

[00:11:08]plenty of midgetes down here. Blue tits are busy in and out. Nesting blocks as well.

[00:11:48]Well, Anne certainly enjoyed herself on the 110.

[00:11:52]The woodland looks absolutely beautiful.

[00:11:54]Now, this tree keeps driving me mad. This dead tree. I think I might just get in there and cut it down. Uh, these wild roses. These are going to be nice as well.

[00:12:11]Right, there's me mate's mom's hedge.

[00:12:13]Just going to put the edge trimmers over this and tidy it up.

[00:12:18]I've done the sides, done the ends of this garden, done uh done the inside of the hedge, and this I said to John, we're in the pub last night in exchange for me cutting your mom's edge. Can you fix our door handle? So, uh I've more or less done my side of the bargain.

[00:12:39]Tell you what, it didn't look that long, but I got a right load of clippings off it. As you can see, it's a right mounting there, both sides. Anyway, that's finished now, more or less.

[00:12:52]Right, all finished. Tell you what, it's actually turned out into not a bad afternoon. Quite nice. Well, it's not very warm. Uh, in fact, I I wouldn't say it's I wouldn't say it's double figures.

[00:13:05]Let's just have a look down when I turn van on. See what see what we've got. Uh, only feels about nine or 10. What's he say?

[00:13:17]7°.

[00:13:19]Blinking heck, it is cold, isn't it? Uh, this is my last job now actually. Uh, playing balls tonight. It's an early start. I want to sit down and u have a bit of tea. Uh, I don't know whether to film a bit of the balls tonight and do sort of do a late edit, but it does become a late edit then because uh we always go it's a fair journey tonight to dig. I think it's about I don't know about 35 maybe 35 40 minute drive maybe not maybe that maybe about 40 minute drive uh so games last approximately about 2 and 1 half hours so 7 8 half an hour not going to get back to grapes at 10 we always have a pipe back in grapes so I'll be probably edited at midnight so I might not show any of the balls or I might do let's just wait and see see what happens Right, back down here again now. I've just been and had a word with uh with the boys with uh Joe and Chris said I'll give him a hand tomorrow, but they're not there to give it tomorrow and I can't. They wanted me to open. I can't open now cuz I'm going bowling in a bit.

[00:14:30]But at the moment now, I'm just heading down to pick up the golf bag off Sue for the uh itman charity event that we're doing. Ricky at an event.

[00:14:41]Got a duck flying down lane.

[00:14:46]So, this is what uh Seuss kindly donated to the Ricky Eggman Ricky Atton uh golf event that we're doing. Look at that.

[00:14:55]And all it's all parcled up. Brilliant.

[00:14:59]>> Brand new from last year.

[00:15:00]>> Yeah. It's nice that is it?

[00:15:02]>> Yeah. It's got all the head covers with it. And I think there's two packs of special made sailor made balls with it as well.

[00:15:07]>> All right.

[00:15:08]>> Got everything with it.

[00:15:10]>> Brilliant.

[00:15:11]We'll get dirty.

[00:15:12]>> Thank you very much for that.

[00:15:14]>> Let's hope it brings a few quid to the charity.

[00:15:16]>> Oh, it should do. Yeah.

[00:15:16]>> Yeah, it should do. Definitely. Right.

[00:15:19]>> So, it's a lot lighter than I thought.

[00:15:23]>> Right. What I've got to do now is measure these gates up a mine cuz I need some new ones. There's all bits missing out of them and what have you. And uh the lad who um Nick who got the gates for Tom uh I was speaking to the other day and he said, "You know what, Andy? I can uh I can get you some of them gates if you want. Uh so I'm just going to just got to measure them up, give him the sizes, and uh hopefully be able to sort me out with some gates that are a lot better than these and work cuz these don't they don't really meet at the middle either.

[00:15:56]>> Got Woody the wood pigeon sat comfortable, but the sparrows keep disturbing him and they're upsetting him a bit. It's really funny that sun's just come out. It's looking really nice out there. Actually, the Aelas are fully out now. And they look nice, don't they? They really do. I'm not 100% certain whether I'm happy with that um artificial grass on me decking. Looking back at some old pictures and uh I quite like the decking and I liked it when I had all the uh plant pots on it full of shrubs and what have you. So, I might have a bit of a rethink on that.

[00:16:33]These are the balls I'll be playing with tonight. Crown Green balls. They actually weigh these balls 22 oz each.

[00:16:42]So, they're quite a heavy ball and hopefully they'll go a lot closer to the jack tonight than me opponents do. But, uh, we'll see on that one. Anyway, so Donna cut me some strawberries. Not cooked, cut me some. So, I'm just having them after me tea. Uh, we had a kebab last night. chicken and shish kebab uh with garlic bread and salad and a little bit left over. So, I've polished that off for me tea. I've just been shopping.

[00:17:11]I bought myself some eggs and mushrooms.

[00:17:14]Uh I'm going to make myself an omelette one night. I've got some hot smoked salmon. So, I'm going to have a salad one night. And when I made them cottage pies the other day, I made an extra one for me for this week. So, I've got plenty of food in. Uh I say it's turned into quite a nice evening. Still a bit chilly though. It's actually only a short vlog again tonight uh like yesterday's vlog. Uh probably I've got quite a lot to do uh over the next few days. So uh a bit more to her show. But you know it it was a real pleasure taking um an on to the 110 today and she like she said she thoroughly enjoyed it and uh you know she it gives her some nice memories don't it? And uh and her family they all they all subscribe to my channel. smaller families, they all watch the vlogs. So, they'll be dead chuff seeing the the mom there. She actually told me yesterday that her daughter took her to um a minute they went and 14 I think they went, but on the way home they stopped at this shop uh to buy some watermelons so they could she could feed the cow watermelon, but unfortunately they didn't have any. So, they had to, you know, they just had to have the cow nuts. So, anyway, I'm going to bring my vlog to an end. I was going to I was going to um do some of the bowling tonight, but I I might film some later, but uh just see how it goes. So, like I always say, you know, if you like what you see, you can subscribe to the channel at the Guard the G-cross, leave a like and dingdong on that bell. You know, I always leave you something.

[00:18:42]Well, tonight I'm going to leave you with Clive Davis's Kingfisher. So, see you all for now. Tada.
