Wilson’s Plantation, Birtswith - Wednesday 21 May 2014



For our last week we had lovely weather with the  sun shining through the trees and the midges deciding not to bite.  Catriona, Roger and Roderick  completed the corner stretch, Barry and Richard filled the gap between the gate posts, Tony topped out a long stretch of the wall, and towards the end was ably assisted by Roderick who was noted in despatches for his heroic efforts chiselling toppers from solid rock - and not doing his tennis elbow any good at all . Graham completed a bit of seamless patching on another part of the wall which had been taken down on a whim the previous week, before moving on to assist Barry.

 and Barry views his task for the day


Graham starts to bridge a gap

 and nearly complete

Barry & Graham place the last stone of the day

 Roderick tries his hand at moss covering


 A fine piece of finished work




Barry wonders how he can reach his bike
 
 We were all pleased with the final result and hope Sean is as well.
