Afternoon sunshine. I need some more if I’m ever to finish this wall. #drystonewall

My workshop yesterday. Love gate making season, and thankfully I’ve got plenty of orders so wet days can be spent in here with plenty of hot coffee. Sorry about the mess. #gate #gates #gatemaking #gatemaker #ruralskills #countrycrafts

Lovely rippled chestnut on a cold wet day. As the sleety rain comes down I’m happy to be in the workshop working on a set of five gates. #gate #gatemaker #cleftchestnut #gates #gates_of_insta #ruralskills

Hedge laying course today at Holne Playpark on Dartmoor. Over 20 of us there, and the weather, well, we were lucky to say the least as it was tipping down and freezing cold when we started but we managed to stay relatively dry.

Congratulations to six Devon Rural Skills Trust members who today passed their proficiency tests: Justin Clifford and Chris Bale - Initial. Garry Moore and Nick Syrett - Intermediate. And Magnus McKay and Chris Stanton - Master Craftsman. 75 yards of Devon Hedge laid on my land at Velwell Orchard. I’m very pleased with the results, thanks and very well done folks. Shame I didn’t get better pics, was a bit too busy! #hedgelaying #hedgesteeping #hedge #devonhedge #devonruralskillstrust #ruralskills #countrycrafts

Field maple lights up my way home at dusk. I love autumn, time of hedge laying and gate making, leaf-rustling walks, roast chestnuts and warm fires.
