I knocked down an old stone barn on my place, the amount of stone that came out of it was amazing.

Got me thinking how much toil went into gathering the stone never mind building it.....all that stone was gathered and moved by hand.

The old part of my house is over 100 years old but it has unfortunately “benefitted” from and 80s makeover of pebble dash on the outside and plasterboard on the inside.

Its a b*****d for damp mind as the floors have just been laid on dirt.

Its got to come down at some point and the shame is it will be cheaper to level it than to pick all the modern shit off, sort the floors and foundation.

Be some lovely stone in it too.....bit gutting really.

I wonder how the family that lived here were preparing for their first Christmas in their new home.  What the children were expecting from santy. 

Simpler times, not without its hardships, but probably a better pace of life than today's one.

You, my good man, are getting more random by the day. Finding a  good, friable loam, isn't really that difficult. Come on now mate, look lively

I’m going to stick my neck out here & say my kids are probably happier with underfloor-heating......
