Barry and Graham welcomed a new recruit, Andy, who was quick to pick up the walling idea.
Another stretch of wall was cleared and Barry and Andy set about laying the first course of foundations and the wall in progress was completed awaiting toppers - a job for another week.

A productive morning at Brookside with the return of Duncan from sailing in warm seas, Chris and Val, Graham & Barry. The larger team allowed a start on the next stint of wall which was duly dismantled. Graham & Duncan then shifted a lot of unused stone closer to the working section and resumed a course on that, while Val, Chris & Barry worked on the new foundations. The rain started soon after a coffee break and the ground conditions by lunchtime were hazardous, so we retreated soggily to the cars, but pleased to complete the foundations and the best part of another course on the wall.
Autumn is on its way, but a fine but cool and breezy day.
A fine pleasant breezy day, but cooler than previous weeks - winter is on its way. Just Barry and Graham and nearly another two courses completed.

Barry, Catriona, Roderick, Tony, Duncan, Chris, Val and Graham , eight wallers, in all, spent a very warm day at Fellbeck making good progress.Given the numbers, Tony and Graham took down another section and started the foundations, including the placing of some very large stones. One in particular, required Barry, Roderick and Graham to successfully realign it although the mattock came to a sticky end in the process. The rest of the group tackled the existing section and added another three courses. Andrew came to visit and see how the stone situation was progressing.

A reunited group tried a stint at Fellbeck this week. Andrew, the farmer, brought us a trailer load of stone to play with, and the sky's above were blue. A much better state of affairs than we have been used to of late.
Barry, Roderick, Val, Catriona, Duncan, and Chris spent the afternoon laying two courses of a new section, after I'd helped to take down the old wall that morning, and retired before lunch; slacker.
I'm not sure of the verdict on the new stone yet. We'll have to wait and see.
