Cob Wall Rebuild in Cornwall…….Latest News

Our cob wall rebuild in Cornwall is getting higher! It’s been a mixed-bag of weather during the build, however we’ve made great progress so far. The swallows have arrived for the summer season and the presence (and activity) of these ‘little cob builders’ is usually a good omen that the weather will be more favourable. So, lots of cob mixing, treading and paring-off to be done but in the meantime please enjoy the process pics below.

Even one of the estate pheasants stopped by to have a look!
