Couple of hours scything this morning. Congratulated myself in spotting a wasps nest, only to stand on another. Is it vinegar for wasp stings? ......asking for a friend!

Just finished restoring a couple of runs of collapsed estate walls. The local style is for them to have brick coping. This gives a pretty finish, but over time the wall relaxes, but the bricks don't.

Can any fossil folks help with this? The stone is Forest Marble limestone & it appears to have a bit of wood still in it?

'Stone of the week'. Top left. Hand dressed quoin in Forest Marble. Sits nicely with plenty of reach to tie back into the old wall. I'm a big fan of this material, it's Cotswold limestone but very hard & durable.
