Yer tiz, just a few bits of mortared work from over the years, still prefer the Drystone walling👌.

Turning pigs ears into silk purses, rough stone into random walling.
Hopefully get some nicer stone tomorrow

Well yer tiz, went up to Crooklands in Cumbria to do my Dry Stone Walling Association level 1 and after some coersion from the absolute lovely guy that is Muriau Maen did my level 2 instead, tbh I wasn't sure but came away with a pass🤸😁.
Up the wallers 💪, what a great community of people so much support and help.

Not far to go in the Brentor stone facing, hopefully the walling gods will be kind to us on the next one and bless us with some lovely stone🙈😆 I doubt it though.

Yer tiz, anyone who wants an on site stone splitting/ dressing service give me a shout.
Save time on site by getting us in to make quoins, lintels, posts out of your stone that's too big or gnarly to use
