Looking 👀for advice on #peat pipes🙏
Pipe flow approx. 1.5m below surface, several roof collapses, one large (see photo). The source of water is from a fairly steep slope.
Is there anything that can be done to reduce erosion and bring the water to the surface? Any ideas greatly appreciated 😊

Any suggestions for this interesting #fungi found on a #peatland restoration site 🤔 It caught my attention as it looks like it has the '3 legs of Mann' 🇮🇲 on it ☺️ #isleofman

Today has been a sheep rescue kind of a day 🐑 (and yes, I did brave the crocodile infested #peaty swamp to pull it out🐊🤣) It turns out that coir logs on a sledge make quite a good floating rescue platform 😀

My daughters and I were joined on the hill by a pair of ravens yesterday ☺️ They were VERY close and were chatting away to us - a magical experience 😍

I think someone forgot to tell the #isleofman that we're supposed to be in the middle of a heatwave 🤣 Not that I'm complaining, I much prefer good #peat bog weather 💦❄️ 😁

Forget-me-nots are one of my favourites 😍 They talk to the bees🐝 by changing their middle colour from yellow to white once a bee has visited. This lets other bees know whether it's worth a look 👀
