Dog Headstones

I don't really do this.  But her beloved dog had died and I'd already done one for her other dog.

The dog was a rather pampered  Pekinese  - my lettering isn't brilliant but the owner didn't want something resembling a human headstone.  She thought this reflected PoPPY's personality.

CIRCULAR WALL

Built locally.  A circular wall, simply to house the waste bins.

Garden Furniture

A quick trip to get a decent slab of stone and some reclaimed limestone building stone.  A couple of dry attempts to see how best to assemble the garden table and then assemble it using weak mortar.  Quite nice for those summer days and evenings.

Bayness Farm Wall

The wall before I got started:-

And a couple of days later.

Fossil find

Rebuilding a wall close to home I discovered this fern or cycad.  It has survived 80 million years in the stone, being quarried and a couple of hundred in the wall - and my dismantling.

Mike Windle of North Yorkshire Geology trust has examined it and told me it is one of the best he's seen.

Now its on display in my garden.
