Steading entrance

I like to see other people's successes. It is very encouraging.

So here is one of ours, taken ages ago but I just came across it. I don't think I posted it before.

 

The cobbles are  glacial cobbles harvested from the drainage excavation of sand with cobbles. These were patiently sorted and turned the flatter way up....not something to give to a contractor to do, then laid by family and friends.

It's amazing to think that these were ripped from a mountain and made that shape by being rolled along in a glacier, and/or in a river deep within the glacier.

The lime pointing was done either by a specialist we were lucky to get hold of, and who did urgent stuff, or my Son-in-Law who is now good at it.

Looks stunning and I saw it when it was an overgrown old steading so can see how much effort and care has gone into this.

There is a radio play on at the moment about a woman with dementia and a trip to Switzerland.

Have we not seen this before?

 

Looks good though.

An advantage of age is being surprised and delighted by the same thing. But I'm not as bad as you suggest....yet.

I've got it on my desktop page so i will 'find  it' again no doubt.
