Brooky

A new site at Brookside farm in Fellbeck saw the attentions of Catriona, Barry Graham and myself. Andrew, the farmer, has put in a new gatepost and has fenced off the area to save us from the advancements of the brun cuw in the adjacent field. Due to various war wounds and ailment we decided to do a half day in which we demolished a 9 metre section of wall in preparation for next weeks building session.

We left a few treats for next week in the shape of some very very large and very very awkward foundation stones, but they should yield with a couple of pry bars and health dose of morning energy.

Checking old walls again 

I went to check out another old wall after finishing today; see how St Cuthberts school playing field is holding up. It's nearly 2 years since we were there! The wall looks in pretty good nick (we did a pretty good job of it didn't we?). They still haven't shifted any of the old mortar that the coping stones were held on with, and some people have taken the opportunity to add their own rubbish to the pile.
