Our logo uncovered! Hadrian in the flesh!






I've been asked soooooooooooooooo many times about my logo for Hadrian's Dry Stone Walls. No it's not Sid James from "Carry on Walling"
The truth is that the influence for our name of Hadrian's Dry Stone Walls came from my wife Susan, and our logo from the beautiful bust which my mate Pete had made and painted. I like influence and I like busts so it was a done deal!!






So here we are isn't this figurine fantastic?!! It's now in our possession and I can only say a HUGE thank you to Pete Watson for this work of art which will always be revered a treasured possession.

A Hadrian's Dry Stone Wall at the Pure Records Recording Studio - recording label for Kate Rusby




This is phase I of a multi phase project to build, repair and replace the dry stone walls around the beautifully located recording studios of Pure Records. While I was walling it was easy to be inspired listening to the lovely music of Kate Rusby and Damien O'Kane being made the studio above my head! The soundtrack is by Kate Rusby and is one of my favourites and never ceases to bring a tear to my eye as she sings it so beautifully. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
