Vernon Oak

Diary of a Sheffield street tree. Not due for the chop now say AMEY and SCC. We didn't give up! #SaveSheffTrees

I was a boundary tree in a field, then houses and road got built around but I still remind people of that field...

In 1950 Ethel & @cprepdsy saved the glorious Moss valley close to @newfieldsheff School from open cast mining. A campaign that included 11,000 signatures on a petition. A massive achievement. (pic 1964 Ethel & Gerald from CPRE PDSY) @GleadlessVTrees @FOGPark1 @SYEconet @sj_unwin

A handful of coreopsis flower deadheads, a sliver of mordanted linen and a day of steeping. Easy plant dyeing. Uneven because I didn’t stir the pot but that colour!

Please avoid Froggatt Edge. Damping down operations still ongoing and lots of vehicles and staff very busy. Avoiding the area would be appreciated. Thank you.

So Christian showed me The Ilex Avenue …

With over 400 Holm oaks dating back to 1840, this is considered by many to be one of the finest of its kind in the world

This is the unstitched panel showing some of the colours. Forgot to add the colour for grey which is oak gall.

Well, it’s been a very busy weekend of tours and guests and lovely visitors and now the house is quiet once more and I’m having a moment watching our beloved swallows chattering and chasing each other and diving in and out of the porch where they will shortly nest.

An excellent article by Dan Bailey in UKC about the damage from BBQ and fire to the uplands and wild places of the UK. None of the signs, warnings or media about the risk are working. 5 BBQs and 5 fires in / near one valley alone in the Peak last weekend. https://t.co/FVxUx0yzoT
