This weekend we're building a curved stone wall at Woodside near Acrum in the Scottish Borders, to provide a sheltered and meditative spot in one corner of the community garden - and a very nice spot it is, too, not far from the pond and shelter beyond..
I wasn't able to get there until lunchtime, by which the site had been prepared and the cheek-ends started. It's a bit hard to get a good shot of the site as it's enclosed by trees and bushes..
We had seven wallers in total - eight if you include my son, Sam, who helped out as a "hearting monkey", filling the gaps between the two side of the walls with smaller stones.The was pretty much the ideal number- if we'd had any more it would've been hard to fit us all into the site.
By close of play today, we'd got the first three courses or so up, and I very much expect that tomorrow they (sadly I can't make it along myself) will get it completed.

Hopefully someone else will take some further photos tomorrow - if I can get some I'll post them here as well.
