[H] Over the last few months we have gradually been picking out the larger rocks from around the plot and piling them all up along our boundary with next door. The plan is to use them to build a new dry stone wall to replace the old post and wire fence. We reckoned we had about 10 tonnes and it seemed like an awful lot of rock to us. The stone waller, David, came to have a look and didn't seem to think much of our "big" pile of rocks. The next thing we know a local farmer has dumped 30 tonnes of enormous boulders on our drive! We'd prepared the ground ready by scraping off the turf and David then set about building our wall. It's now about two thirds up, looking very substantial and that huge pile of rocks on the drive has all but vanished. Hope next door like it as much as we do.
