Week Five - bricks bought

Week Five.
 
We have been very lucky in sourcing bricks for the dwarf wall and garden wall.  A development project literally 100m away from us (an old school which was then turned into the church hall) had stacks of bricks surplus to requirements do I was able to negotiate with the developer and buy 1100 which is more than enough for our purposes. I am thrilled to bits as they are beautiful bricks and a perfect match to our houses. They are also from a local historic building and it is great to keep them in the village. They are currently under a tarpaulin in the churchyard (having obtained the Church Wardens permission) as the builders are not back with us until today. The weather doesn't look great so they may hold off until tomorrow.
