Building dry stone walls is not only a pleasure but because they stand for hundred of years they become a home for all sorts of animals and fauna which enhance their beauty.
They act as hairdriers for sheep as they cower behind a wall in wet and windy weather; the air passing through the wall dries the sheep.
I wall as a hobby and I intend to place a diary of my walling this summer onto this blog. I am a registered intermediate waller with the Dry Stone Walling Association and an active member of the South Yorkshire branch of the DSWA.
The pictures are of several walls either 'gapped' or built at a farm at Oxspring, South Yorkshire.
