Meet Gareth...

Gareth is a friend and builder who is currently fixing our front wall. He has painstakingly removed the bricks and mortar and is rebuilding it. This folks is The Mossy Wall so you can imagine the detailed brief Gareth received about making sure he didn't inadvertently scrape the dried up moss off the coping stone. Instead it is out of sight, up the side of the house, ready to be replaced in a grand ceremony when the wall is at that stage. 
So hopefully, later this year, at around November it will burst into life again.
