 End of the day
|
| |  OCV's task today is to restore this heap of stone to its former glory as a dry-stone wall
|
 First job is to get rid of encroaching brambles
|
 Next the stones are laid out by size - already things are looking more organised!
|
 The wall takes shape
|
 What a transformation - the wall will soon be an effective barrier once more
|
 Another bit of wall gets the same treatment
|
 Some nice big stones at the bottom give the wall stability
|
 Dry-stone walling can lead to dry throats. Regular tea breaks are essential.
