Unaccustomed
early arrival for Barry was rewarded by fine view of the resident
sparrowhawk on the hedge on Hell Wath Lane, and a second sparrowhawk
which took off from its perch on the top of the barn a bit further
along. Catriona, Graham and Rod joined him at the wall and lined out the
day's stint. Tantalising glimpses of blue above the mist promised some
sunny weather, and birdsong too spoke of a fine day, but hazy sunshine
was all too brief as the clouds moved in. The benign meteorological
conditions contrasted with mild irritation among the group as we
scavenged for suitable stone and inadvertently created a plentiful
supply of fill while attempting to fashion the fragile material. Good
humour was restored by a satisfying completion of the days work with
conforming top stones.
The wall in the morning
The wall at the end of the day
The end of the day
The end of the day
