Before I became a drystone waller I knew nothing about how walls were built, or by whom. That's the thing about drystone, it's everywhere, it's ancient, it's extraordinary, and most of us walk straight past it.

The very first Drystone Diary is live. What drystone actually is, how it works, and why it matters.

Drystone Diary - What Is Drystone?

What is drystone, how does it work, and why does it matter? From the physics of a wall to the ecology of its gaps, we explore drystone walling.

@kristiedegaris Love to have you back 🫶
@maxheadroom Ah thank you! It's been a really tough stretch of time (ongoing) but it's good to be back. I have a tendency to isolate, and I'm working on that.
@kristiedegaris I read that. That's why my appreciation :) LMK if I can help with anything.
@maxheadroom That's very kind. These messages help a lot, so thank you.
