Super Sunday!

Town & country, team effort #ReclaimTheseStreets

Pretty bloody nice all round I'd say. Handsome thatcher fixing fire damaged neighbours roof #goodwork #betterthanever #longsummerdays

Vale of Pewsey is off...

5 acres down and stood up by teatime, ready for a drop of rain... 25 to go!

Dirty thatcher! #wiltshire

Phase 2 accomplished!

Good points here about why thatching straw getting hard to come by. Usual challenges of weather and labour compounded by storage & processing barns being converted, and not into housing affordable by rural workforce!

Thatcher on tour! Suffolk roofs. Butley church, and though not usual fans of boxey ridges, loving these. And an expensive looking ivy habit. Such middle aged holiday pastimes!

Whole thatch kit stolen in yard breakin last week from Coulston, Westbury. Hooks, legget, needle, knives, wire kit, kneepads ffs! Precious tools made & gifted. Black tin box, green tarp top. If anyone offered knockoff kit please call it in. So sad. #Wiltshire #thatching

Dearest #thatching world, huge thanks for your care and kindness following tools theft in #wiltshire. Will today picked up his teacher Ivor Steel's full kit from his widow Ange. Also NFU paid out in full for all else. Will completes ECA 🚑 training next week. Love life 🌾❤

First night shift... what a one to pick! Take care Trowvegas 🎆 #wiltshire #bambulance

A funeral today for dear friends. Happy harvest, time flies by.

A joy to jolly at this positive event Groundswell... Thanks All & here's to taking forwards the sentiment & intent. Particularly struck by the NI commitment to baseline asap.

Happy day- picking up 20kg Red Chaffed Yeoman from Fred Price Gothelney Farm. Bulked up from small sample over 3 years to grow on in Wiltshire: hope is a variety to work for both #thatching and #bread Grain Lab

Grand Pewsey #thatchingstraw gathering of thatchers and growers from far and wide. Working together on machinery solutions to keep the material coming. Huge amount of experience & skill in the room, lucky #wiltshire! Thanks Historic England for organising.

This is pretty much what January looks like round my house 🔥
