Inspired by @wildswimmingyorkshireman and his wheelie bin swimming pool, and desperate for my cold water fix, I decided to try out the little brook at the bottom of the garden. The River Dart is far too high to swim at the moment so this was a lot better than nothing. Let’s not be too snobby about where we swim eh? Thanks to Lola for the camera work 😀
Suddenly I’ve been swamped with orders for gates and my young apprentice is helping me with designs. Well, he’s doing his best anyway...
Can’t wait for the new gate making season to start in a couple of weeks. Then I can spend wet days like today In the comfort of the workshop, rather than catching up on office work! #gates #cleftchestnut #handmade #bespoke #ruralskills #gates_of_insta #chestnut #gate #countrycrafts
I’ve come down with a nasty tummy bug so no hedging for me today 😢I was really looking forward to the competition. I’ll have to comfort myself by looking at hedge laying pictures on my phone. I’m booked up until new year now so if anyone wants me to lay any hedges let me know soon as it gets really busy in January and February. #hedge #hedgelayer #hedger
DRST hedge steeping competition tomorrow. I haven’t entered for a few years but a challenge is always good and there’s always lots to be learnt when competing. I’ve been getting my tools properly sharp this afternoon after the summer in the shed. #hedge #hedgesteeping #hedgelaying #sharptools
It was beautiful this morning, but by 3pm it was too wet and windy for photographs!
