A New Year

A cold but bright start to the day with a keen northerly airstream keeping visibility good and noses running.
The resident buzzard on the approach lane lifted off the hedge displaying very pale plumage in the low morning light, giving the appearance of being in moult.
Catriona opted to match the remnant wall with the new build, while Graham, Roderick & Barry continued the clearance of the next stint. Taking a line on the field side gave the measure for the footings and first courses of large cobbles, commendably good stone easing progress. Exertion with the heavy sandstone helped maintain a comfortable body temperature against the chilling gusts of unimpeded wind. Graham joined Catriona after lunch to successfully tie in the remnant wall, and sturdy foundations should allow a productive start next time.
