@ericslackhouse @pete_savin Eric, very rude about our lovely Heath Chapel next to our farm! 🤣🙈I think you should donate some lovely Birdoswald cheese to the chapel as an apology. We will see how long it will keep in there….!! Unless of course we eat it first!! Regards to you both.

Enjoying the quiet serenity of the interior of Heath Chapel built in the 12th century and hardly altered #Shropshire

@pete_savin Apparently the clay for the roof tiles for Wroxeter was quarried just below Heath at Bouldon. Not sure if a local myth? On Nordy bank Iron Age fort there is a square on LiDAr. Wonder if it’s Roman. I will send screen shot. Did Peter tell you of the little dig? I know Peter well.

Tb test this week. Today our vet injects everything >42 days, then on Thurs she’ll measure the skin for a ‘reaction’. We’ve been under restriction since Oct & lost 28 cows, so if everyone could send positive vibes our way for Thursday’s read, it would be very much appreciated 💚

@bodenfarming @Wyefarm Ally look at @thelandapp using your SBI number download your maps from @Ruralpay RPA. It will bring across the parcels & hedge data, use SFI23 template map both sides of hedge. will produce table then spreadsheet for all SFI options you chose. Don’t forget RLE1 if RPA not correct

Help please! Just trying to get an SFI application together. For Manage Hedgerows - HRW2 it says per side, does that mean if I'm managing both sides I can put the meterage in twice? Pic below as an example hedge is 250m long, but I'm going to manage both sides. TIA

It is upon us, hedging has begun. Be prepared for a few months of ligging & ridding out, and a few videos of hedgespam. It’ll be enough to make you want to sharpen your axe with a spit stone & head out to create a thing of beauty for wildlife & for future generations to enjoy 💚

In this experiment Dr Rob Thompson of @UniRdg_Met shows just how long it takes water to soak into parched ground, illustrating why heavy rainfall after a #drought can be dangerous and might lead to flashfloods. @R0b1et @UniRdg_water

@ericslackhouse @SusFoodTrust @Firfarmltd The most wonderful organic pasture for life Hereford beef. The whole meal the yellow hammer and skylarks sang and a kestrel hovered overhead. Great international company too.

@SusFoodTrust @Firfarmltd #FirFarm22 home after another excellent conference including a walk with the gentleman that inspired me to go #organic 27 years ago. Thank to my wonderful wife who led me down the path and showed me the way.

@charlottebsmith @BBCCountryfile Judging by the size of motor must be a press or extraction for oil from seed…which one though? Rape, hazelnuts, sunflower, global warmed almonds, grape seed. I thought it was heather or wildflower seed dresser until…that motor. Hope they have their own renewables!
