These lovely photos of John ’Dog’ Collister and his friend, Des Robinson, tidying up the willow domes in Silverdale were on the DEFA - Hills, Forests and Glens Facebook page.

Well-known Kirk Michael poet John Dog, who was the third Manx Bard, is also a master willow weaver.

He created the structures in 2015 and they have proved popular with local children ever since.

This is the best time of year for carrying out willow-work just prior to the start of the growing season.
