This course has got to have contained the quickest wall builders so far! They had their section of wall built by lunch on Sunday and after lunch they completed another wall which was started by the children burying their time capsules on 4th July. Not only were they quick but they did a good job too!
I learnt something on this course. Apparently Fiona’s current waller puts toad holes in his walls. First I’ve heard of these! I’ve built bee boles before and built a few more ‘features’ than I would like to be accredited with, but this was my first experience of toad holes! Not content with toad holes, Fiona and Sarah actually put some foliage in the wall for toad bedding! I thought I was there to teach the course to build a wall not a toad sanctuary!!
We had another splendid meal at the Chilli Lodge on Saturday evening where we were joined by spouses, offspring and friends.
L to R: Standing: Neil, Mike, Paul, Sarah, Nick, Diane

All in all another great course with great people! Thanks to all participants and to Barry for helping out – and for managing to stay vertical for the whole course!
