The wall is now complete bar the pointing. We found an exactly matching piece of stone (to the one at the other end of the wall) to cap it with. It's been, as all our tasks are, difficult. First came the task of finding over 100 correctly sized and coloured bricks from all those we've dug up since we've been here. Then after cleaning they had to be laid to connect in with the rather awkward pattern that was already there, finally there was a hunt in our stone pile to find the right piece. Dave feels everything takes a long time but this is why! The result is excellent and now it's ready for him to experiment with lime mortar mixes to point with.
