I also tried to photograph a spider's web recently - this was taken near Machynlleth in Wales, early evening last month. Just taken on my phone. #Machynlleth #wales #CentreForAlternativeTechnology

@BigJackBrass Joking aside, the answer should be yes. I've lived in houses of several periods, many built in the second half of the twentieth century, and I can attest that wattle-and-daub is superior to 1970s brick. Straw-bale would be even better. Ask Kevin McCloud. Better, ask the #CentreForAlternativeTechnology and book on their #StrawBaleHouse construction course.

Wet Welsh weather and Walter (Segal). Rammed earth, turbine mounted piles of slate and heat pumped homes. #centreforalternativetechnology #renewables
