Cob, Cob, Cobbing Along


Look! The wall is beginning! I've been waiting for the straw to be harvested, but I got impatient and have started, using straw from Gail's horses. It's perfect and it's free and it's a waste product. Brilliant. I've been trummeling it with my feet and rolling it on a wee bit of black plastic, which keeps each load small. It takes longer to make than to sling on the wall. I've done half the circle in two short days. I love cob.

My feet are getting used to the occasional sharp stone. I wonder if I could borrow a cement mixer? It would be a lot quicker...


Here is one of the giant cabbages from the garden.


And here is Mr Brown. He is very sweet.
