Finished (Nearly)

Six of us at Brookside farm this week; Andy, Rob, Duncan, Roderick, Barry and Graham.  Andrew had kindly delivered another trailer of stone and provided Andy, Rob, Duncan and Graham with just enough to add a final course and toppers, thus completing some 60 yards of wall started in September 2018. An impressive bit of walling, particularly when you look back at the blog and see how the wall looked originally. We loaded the leftovers onto the trailer, a remarkably small amount considering the length of wall completed.
Barry and Roderick went to the other side of the field and professionally repaired a glaring gap which had been staring at us all year.
Add to all that a fine but breezy day; what more could you ask for.
Duncan and Roderick will return in the New Year to repair another gap but otherwise that's good bye to Brookside farm for the time being.
