Nipped to Alness on Friday for some screws (top High Street BTW with two hardware shops) and parked behind the funeral parlour. It's not like lime finishes are hard to find #DrivebyArchaeology #Heritage #LimeFinishes #Conservation #Lime #LimeMortar

I think this is one of the most poignant photographs I have taken, an abandoned cottage on Benbecula deliquescing back into the landscape, while the bottles of a ruined life glint savagely on a bright cold day. c.1999.

This is just perfect, tiles bedded in a thick lime plaster and at ground level, where there are likely to be salts, a thick coarse plaster which has been lined out. Guimaraes, Portugal.

Went looking for a local beer in Guimarães and got lost but found this on the route back. They make so much sense in this climate.

One of those days when I managed to combine the two essentials of any journey, scones and some top lime pointing, in this case a nicely detailed raised ribbon at the River Bothy at the bottom of the Berridale Braes, Caithness and Sutherland.

Top lined out lime pointing and a wee ghost sign thrown in for good measure in Wick. Thanks to @lillyh.bsky.social for showing me around this languishing but great town with 💯potential.
