It has to be just right! Dressing #waterreed into place. #thatching #masterthatchers
Million more houses to be built, most on green areas, increasing population, solar panels on land that’s needed to feed the growing population, but Packham is blaming the sheep. Over grazing like under grazing would be an issue I agree but no sheep at all would be disastrous
I'm back in court today fighting the legality of overgrazing on Dartmoor . 0.1% of protected sites across the park are in favourable environmental condition , yet we still spend millions in taxpayer cash propping up loss-making , destructive sheep farming . It has to change .
And here we are ladies and gentlemen, @Nigelrefowens speaking the truth from first hand experience, we need more Nigel’s and less Packham’s in our lives!
No they are not Chris . They have been grazing there for thousands and thousands of years . It’s ironic you are doing more harm to the environment than good with your biased opinion
Taking Sam sea fishing for the first time at Looe. Great time, caught quite a few, disappointingly didn’t see Captain Pugwash or Roger the cabinboy
Another day, another balls up to sort out 🙄🙄🙄 Reed put on far too tight, reed all rotten. Every single handful, 18” either side of the valley needs to be pulled out and dressed up properly. Fun. #thatching #masterthatchers #ruralcrafts #bedfordshire
Not long until the season starts and Monty will have his first proper retrieves. He has good drive and recall, looking forward to seeing him work properly.
In deepest, darkest Suffolk today. @TrooperSnooks you should come bring me a brew if you’re back from holiday! #thatching #masterthatchers #ruralcrafts #suffolk
I will never get enough of this!
Back in today the lads completed the clearance of the pensioners’ garden they had started yesterday. Fitted two safety lights brought all the cuttings to the recycling centre. Toughest one yet…
Glad to be home after what seemed like a constant traffic jam from Heathrow to Bedford 🙄🙄 So pleased with the final outcome of this water reed rethatch in Little Woodham. #thatching #masterthatchers #ruralcrafts #hampshire
Thinking back to this time last year. #thatching #masterthatchers #ruralcrafts #hampshire
The Hovel at Little Woodham a year on, starting to grey down now. The overhead tree cover makes it grey faster than normal. #thatch #thatching #masterthatchers #ruralcrafts #hampshire #gosport

#Monday Master pieces - Keep your entries to our #RidgesonThatch Picture #Competition coming in folks. bit.ly/RidgesThatch Thanks to @c_dodson_thatch for this cute cottage with lovely blue skies.
To all the Andrew Tate fanboys out there, this is what masculinity actually is. Respecting yourself, respecting others, respecting your community. Not doing down women or nutcase conspiracy theories.
The lads completed another three older residents’ gardens tonight cutting back trees and bushes, mowing the grass, litter picking and bringing their outdoor spaces back to life. Fitted five safety lights. Fellas worked hard tonight.
A proper chocolate box cottage all finished over in Exton, Rutland. #thatching #masterthatchers #ruralcrafts #rutland
