This is not my #NorthNorfolk I am angry & ashamed. #BactonSandscaping Two pair of #sandmartin made repeated attempts to access just one nest site. There are dozens of other nest sites further along a 1 km of netted cliff face. @EDP24 @BBCLookEast @itvanglia @Natures_Voice

Trying out the coracles made by this week’s schoolchildren. (The children in the photos are my own, who help out on site. For safeguarding reasons I don’t post photos of the schoolkids). #coracle #coracles #OutdoorEducation #ExperimentalArchaeology

@primeraddish It’s the Korgen stitch. 😊😊

I’ve been ill and in pain with pleurisy all week, but today I made these nålbinding handwarmers. This was my first attempt at embroidery. It was described as a ”simple red work design” and a herringbone border to highlight the wavy edges. Korgen stitch in alafosslopi wool.

Yesterday’s weaving workshop, at Hands on Heritage. We talked about where the children’s clothes and materials come from, and how clothes might have been made in the past. We looked at fleece, shears, spindles and plant dyed wools. Then the children wove their own bracelets.

Some more work on my Dalarna stitch cowl. I’ve added a few extra steps to the stitch to achieve the tight, cloth like appearance. #nålbinding #nålebinding #naalbinding #Viking #Saxon #reenactment #experimentalarcheology

Nålbinding hat for a craft swap with my friend. She’s making me a bushcraft smock (with pockets!!!). Her son chose his favourite colours in the alafosslopi wool. #naalbinding #nålbinding #nålebinding #experimentalarchaeology #vikings #saxons #ancientskills
