  3. I once came across an exhibition of paintings which were all of stone walls - the colours and textures were amazing. This photo would sit well amonst those other works of art.

  13. Wonderful to see a craft from the "Old World" practised in the "New". I thought you'd made a quick visit over to Ireland for a moment!
