My Favourite Things ~ ‘Rounded Corner’
One corner of the barn has been carefully rounded, it speaks to me of workmanship, care and simple good design (don’t worry I’m not literally hearing walls speak). The stones are arranged to offer no sharp edges, no right angles. My favourite reason for constructing the wall in this was is to save cows that round the corner from banging their hip bones - although friendliness to any animals or machines going that way is probably the real story.

I have an urge to further extend and heighten these dry stone walls.
