2nd July ... going
15th July ... gone!
At last I cannot see the new house from the sitting room. I put the last stone in place with the help of Sorley last week, photographed by Ben. Today I put some dwams in the wall and cemented them in. Tomorrow, weather permitting, I'll put in the uprights for a gate.View from the Little Bousta side. I/we still have to complete the wall to join the yard wall. This will run in front (north) of Sorley's house.
It has been a still, warm day with the fog slowly creeping in.
This was at teatime. Now, 8pm, and I cannot see the skerry in front of the house. Sorley rang me at 11am from the top of Collafirth Hill as he set off for the Lang Ayre on the other side of Ronas Hill where he is going to camp tonight ... hope he finds his way! Tomorrow should be misty and sunny. Hope it lifts for Sorley.

There's a story in there somewhere....crochety old man(fictional of course)building a big enough stone wall to block out the ugly new house!
Looks great.....I've been wishing you were nearby here to help us out with some DIY and gardening!
Or perhaps a fable about a man who surrounded himself with a huge stone wall so no one could get out or in!
