We are now nearing the end with the dry stone wall in the orchard. We are within about 4-5 metres of the stone gate post of the adjoining field. This will be the end for this part of the dry stone wall. We have now started working on the wall from the other side as this is slightly easier. Digging out the old wall (complete with tree stumps) has been hard work in the hot weather.
Jo has been on holidays this week, so two of us have been working on the wall together. Progess is more than twice as quick with two people!
We are starting to clear the far corner of the orchard (hence the chainsaw on the wall) so that we can finish off the wall.
The empty bottle of wine in the blue trug was found under the hedge (honest!)
We are getting there and having two people working on the wall makes progress really quick (in relative terms).
Now working in the adjoining field and working towards the old stone gatepost
