Nice Walnut tree. What about pickling them when they are green and before the squirrels decide they are ready to eat. Usually buy a jar or two during the winter and do like the taste, but with a loaded tree would be very tempted to give it a go.

Playing in the woods with the other kids, soon learnt I was rubbish at throwing anything. When a bit older and working for the local nursery in the school holidays collecting and sorting daffy bulbs, there was always a lot of rock throwing going on and this just reinforced how bad my throwing arm was. I switched to rubber band propulsion and got pretty good at making and shooting catys. Always carry one but don`t think it has ever appeared in my vids, will have to remedy that. It`s been done to death but can do my version I guess. Defiantly give the sheep something to think about!

rock throwing must come hand in hand with daffy bulb grading! and i still have a bag of elastic bands from picking daffys from 10 years ago, id like to see your rubber band propulsion skills... things developed in youth can often be revisited and reworked. i got a small Oppenheimer feeling when i released this video.. i just hope it doesnt lead to mass destruction. stay young my good friend 👍

And can’t dress things up as much as I would like I will drop most of the 4K footage start using 1080p. Just so I can combine clips/effects together without waiting five hours for processing.
