Stonewalling at Tamar Lakes 23rd May 2015

Today we headed back down to Tamar Lakes in Cornwall...


Our task for this session was too complete the two sections                                                                       of stonewall that we had begun to restore back in April, 

First though Chris had to start things off by getting his 'Tea-making Mantra'...

Don't worry, Esther's grumpy face will fade once 
the caffeine hits her blood stream...

After the tea break kickstart the PEA team got stuck in...




It's very important that you compact the soil 
between the different layers on the wall so that it stays sold

After 2 hours of heavy work it was time for a lunch break...

By the lakeside no less...
Then we were straight back to it, eager to finish off...

Chris and I spent a while debating on how to finish this wall top off...

"I think we'll try this one..."

"Well I think this looks better.."

Whilst the girls sat and drank tea....Thanks girls....

Eventually though the walls were finished...Ooo la la...




As we had all done so well, 
as a special treat Esther decided to share with us...

Her PEA Socks...
Wow..they're um...Lovely Esther....
