Award winning biographer of the Pinwill sisters, Arts & Crafts woodcarvers of Devon and Cornwall. Churches, and all things Devon & Cornwall, especially Dartmoor. You'll see stuff about churches, not for any religious reason but because I see churches as repositories of art paid for by the community and therefore belonging to the community.

Seriously?! Shame on #TheGuardian and the photographer here for harmful stereotypes. The tips on avoiding damage to knitwear from the caterpillars of a small number of moth species are fine, but they chose to illustrate the piece with two adult geometrid moths that have nothing to do with clothing damage.

So many people want to kill moths and other insects on sight because of misinformation like this.

This Sparrow Hawk (or spork for short) flew past us rapidly this afternoon.. For a change, I actually managed to get a half decent photo of it. (usually I miss these).

The #sheep were coaxed out of their shed in to the wind for a morning feed of Rammaster and sugar beet pellets.
