A very mixed weather day for Barry, Rob, Andy, Duncan and Graham. Work started early with Barry unloading yet another delivery of stone, courtesy of Andrew who also has to be thanked for his seasonal gift. Whilst muddy underfoot, reasonable progress was made until mid morning when rain forced everyone into the barn. After twenty minutes we returned to the wall and slightly wetter mud. By lunchtime it had become quite cold but we carried on and by 2 o'clock another two courses had been completed. Having nearly run out of suitable walling stone, we decided to put on some toppers. All very satisfying, helped by the sun coming out, the wind dropping and feeling much warmer than a couple of hours earlier. Hardly any stone left but may be OK to complete next week with some judicious shaping required. Thanks also to Barry for his stollen handouts.
