Moss isn't rare where I live, jess. Depends where she is whether it matters. Some moss releases itself from its place of growth.

Besides which, she can put it back. We did this when we had our dry stone dyke rebuilt. We asked the wall builders to save the mosses and other plants and put them back on the wall. They did. Everything is thriving and we have a new-built wall that looks old.

And can I join that u3a group please?

Lovely photos, not depressing humour at all.
Bit concerned about the moss woman though - been ripping up a rare habitat by the looks of things.

I did laugh at this for a good reason, the photos reminded me of my dear grandmother.

My grandmother was a lovely soul and she cherished her pigs and chickens. One day she found a fox had got at them and was so upset. She decided that she would try and catch the fox 'by lying in wait'.

We laughed, she left the house at night with her coat and a floppy hat covered in straw and she looked like hay stook. She did this for three nights and gave up. The very next night the fox did for 9 more chickens. That's why foxes are are called crafty. grin

I fancied the cape made of mosses.

Butty I was taken with the woven twigs too, but also rather liked the seaweed. grin

Nelliemoser Easter is next weekend and the weather forecasters are full of doom and gloom about the temperature, wind and more snow. Not much incentive to go out into the garden or countryside and pick a hat.

They are great! How about that as idea for a GN competition. When the snow goes and we can all find some vegetation to use.
We could make it Easter bonnets. Full of ideas me! wink

Liberated from Cubs at least wink. Will say more about my weekend when my brain starts working again.

Alternative hats and outer-wear

I love the woven headdress of the woman at the end.
