This gets to the heart of the issue: ‘It is not so much that we lost our hedges since 1945, it is that lost the human resource to manage hedges properly.’ We need more hedgelayers, not just more hedges. (11/12)

Films set in the future seriously underestimate the number of memorial benches around. By 2150 they will have got about 17.2% ground coverage.

Excellent value for one of the best meals we have enjoyed on the Island.

@leafyfififoo That's a Sycamore Moth caterpillar, worth a record if it was on the #IsleofWight

Nice article, sadly we’re not acknowledged as the inventors, makers, and continuing developers of these artificial rock pools. We have a decade of designing habitat for sea defences under our collective belts….but hey-ho, tomorrow’s silicon chip paper! 🤷‍♂️

@Mandolinwanker @MattandCat @iwcponline It's definitely not like that at all! Such hostility and xenophobia is a thing of the past on the Isle of Wight!
