While others focus on store-bought candy, I’m opening my classroom to show you that canning is simple. I’m here to share my Amish heritage and Southern warmth to help you preserve your harvest with confidence.

I've been asked to give a brief talk about my YouTube channel OSMForHistoryBuffs at a European conference hosted by the Dry Stone Walls Association of Ireland (amongst others), bc I did a video about mapping drystone walls and other videos about mapping traditional skills (or their products). Pretty chuffed they remembered me.
It's gonna happen on December 9th, coincidentally my 9 year anniversary in Ireland. https://www.dragodid.org/echoes-enhancing-cultural-heritage-skills-across-europe/

4 GRADA DRAGODID

I was at Alston to help a fellow Nenthead Mines volunteer. They moved to a house in Gossipgate and, for some unknown reason, a retaining wall had been partly removed. It looked awful, just a muddy bank.

There was a lot of decent stone lying about on top of another wall round the corner. That was the hardest part of the job, moving the materials.

We got some work done at Nenthead Mines today, repointing the workshop rear wall with lime mortar. Weather was kind until the last 15 min, as we were covering the work in hessian sheeting, the heavens opened.

It looked like thunder cloud but no lightning or thunder. I was the one taking the photo, the Boss for the day.

My heart is full today. Two hunters took the time to learn how to skin their deer with me so the hides can be transformed to textiles. 💕😁 #SustainableUse #TraditionalSkills
