Great Yorkshire Show 2013 - 9-11 July 2013
In contrast to the previous year we were blessed with glorious weather for this year’s project, which was to use up some old sandstone and paving flags to create a seat. Here is the result of the 3 days work

Plans drawn up although the slope caused us to deviate slightly from plan
Day 1. This is where we are going to build. Johnny already on his first tea break I see
Early progress on the base
Another tea break! No wonder it’s going to take 3 days
Henry wishing it was a bottle of beer instead
At least Lawrence is working
Cowboy wallers on the job
Progressing nicely
Henry's moved from one seat to another
Looks like he’s there for the day
Seating slabs going in
Off we go on day 3
Johnny still on his tea break from the start of day 1
Final section on the way up
Ray and Dave in deep concentration
Last day progress (Ray has gone camera shy)
Hat, dark glasses & a beard. Who is the man in disguise?
Looks like ton bags have been dropping from the sky
Last course underway
Lack of workers in the picture. Another tea break?
