Love this quote from @createstreets on the frankly ridiculous new window height regulations, which they and we are jointly campaigning against https://t.co/hhodO5QvD4

Lying unused since its congregation departed in 2004, owner of Hillhead Baptist Church in Glasgow now wants to demolish.

After removing its roof last year they say "building is deteriorating quickly, more so than anticipated"

@PaddyGalbraith If you’re wading into the world of woodcock wine (ahem), you could do worse than explore the offerings of Domaine de la Mordorée. Available at respectable Fulham Road merchants. I don’t believe they made your fizzy pop though.

@ArchaeologySue @Englishomestead Expensive, but best I’ve owned.

Not all sweaters are equal. Fascinating if you’re interested in how stuff’s made, and what constitutes ‘value’. I don’t agree that paying more will get you a good one though; price in no way guarantees quality (although high quality usually demands a fair price)

HOW TO BUY A GOOD CASHMERE SWEATER 🧵

I want to address this comment left by someone in response to my Brick Watch Company tweet. It also gets into something I've been wanting to talk about: how to buy a good cashmere sweater.

[Merlin Lewis @merlinrants]

VAT vs No-VAT arrangements for Repair vs Demolish/Replace disincentivise sustainable work (conservation?) and is much discussed. A straight-up demolition levy less so. Is a £-based stick approach the only route towards sustainable construction in Scotland?

Now we’re talking! Spoiler alert, silicone injections are not the answer… Great text, and well timed with #nationalmaintenanceweek in just over a fortnight’s time @heritage_surv @SPABScotland #traditionalbuildings

[Historic Environment Scotland @HistEnvScot]

From building a cruck to working on timber... if “thatch” caught your interest & you want to learn about traditional building conservation, you're in luck! 🍀

We're recruiting for a new Vernacular Building Craft Fellow at the @HighlandFolk Museum.
