Top of the wall

After our friends had left Brian decided he wanted to tidy up the tiles on the top of the wall. He started off by carefully removing all of them and cleaning down the debris and dust left, ready to refit them. The plan was to cement them back into place.

He then cleaned the old tiles up, removing any old cement and moss. He discarded any badly broken ones, leaving them for me to use in pots. Luckily we had some extra tiles that a friend had offered to us as he no longer needed them.

The temperatures had already started to drop, so unfortunately he was not able to re-cement them back into place before winter set in. That’s a job that will wait for the spring. So he covered the top with a tarpaulin and rocks, just to provide some protection over the winter to stop the water getting in.
