We still have some large piles of stones left over from the original cottage perimeter walls and from the stones that came out of the trench that was dug to install our new water pipe alongside the track from the road. We hope to use up the stones in a number of projects around the garden area. Our first effort was to add a retaining wall to support the wall next to the steep path down to the lower garden.

Here’s how it looks so far. We now have to build a new set of stone steps alongside the wall down to the lower garden.
