HI Gang;
Wales is a country of rock, and over the years Welshmen have utilized this natural asset for many uses.
On the coastal path the National Parks workers have built seats for walkers using slate & stone.
Besides the stone houses, its used for farm buildings, field walls & gateposts, even small bridges crossing streams. The slate is also split into thin section rectangles for roofing slates.
Cheers David

David I also enjoy your photos and tractor info from across the pond. In this part of Virginia...about an hour west of Wash DC we have endless miles of dry stack walls also known as Slave walls. As that is who probably built most of them. The "joke" is that they built them on their day off, they were busy in the fields during the work week.

A bench like that would't pass the lawyer review here. Some one with lots of extra behind mind pinch some in between the stones and then there'd be a lawsuit.;-)

The bench almost looks like a gator or some other creature, eating rocks. Maybe need more coffee or schedule eye exam. I always enjoy your pictures.

Parts of Ky are full of limestone rocks. In times of slaves they were picked up and used to build fences. In some counties there are miles and miles of them along roads, around the horse farms mostly. Lots of them are getting in bad shape now.

If you were to pay for the ticket, I'd gladly come your way and build you some stone work...I guess you'd better supply the stones too!

My use of natural materials is not quite as old, but still nice. Every spring I prowl the edges of my property, which also happens to be the edge of a farm that dates back to 1830. I find the rocks the farmers pulled from the fields, and some that clearly have tooling marks on them. I built this flower garden for my wife and am currently building a wall about 60 feet long and 4 feet high in some parts. It might take me 10 years to collect the rocks.
