Brick laying

The courtyard wall has started to take shape by my own admission I am not the fastest of bricklayers and this is further complicated by the nature of the bricks which are irregular in just about every aspect imaginable. The lime mortar sets of the mellow reds of the bricks and looks right as the boundary of our ancient house. Work will slow in the courtyard as I am now on site 3 days a week helping our team with our workload which pushes all other aspects of running my business to evenings and weekends (not great for family life). 

I do enjoy working in gardens and I find the differences between each of the sites we maintain interesting and nearly always a refection of their owners.
