One man and his dog

 Out and about I came across this amazing piece of rural craftsmanship (no thats not sexist it was a man wot done it!) a long piece of drystone walling, four foot high, straight as an arrow and beautifully out of place in the wreckage of the garden it bordered. You might be able to see in the bottom picture the "rustic" (rusty) gate the landowner intends to hang at the end of this masterpiece.

The nice chap who put up this wall, lets call him Steve, why not its his name, was very happy to talk to me about his skills and in response to the highly unoriginal "How long did it take you to learn this skill" replied that he had taken a two day course given by a local farmer with a strange sense of humour and that was that, lesson learned. Oh, and 15 years practice since.
