Windy Wall

A couple of days of showers (heavy ones!) and winds of around 18mph, gusting to 30mph. Little can be done in the way of proper gardening, but sorting out the edges of the new 'Village Puddle' has kept us out of mischief.
First the turf at the far side needed lifting, then the slabs on top of the wall needed to come off. The hardest of all though is building the wall on the right hand side, as this needs to be higher than it was, in order to get the levels right.
Fortunately we have an endless supply of very local, free walling stone. Sadly though it doesn't come supplied with a dry stone wall expert.

Social life stopped play eventually, but a bit more playing around at the far end, and it should be OK.
Plenty more work to do on the inside of the puddle, but it is beginning to look something like we planned.
Oh and just by way of recording, we had the first of this seasons Rhubarb last night!
