There's a lot of rubble stones in the ground here with the occasional gem thrown in for good measure. Last year we took the ivy off the back of one of the outbuildings and hidden in the undergrowth was a pile of these gems some of which must have been ploughed up over the years when this was a working farm whilst others look as if they are from buildings no longer standing.

There is a mix of these large stones including lovely flat ones that we hope to lay as a path, softly rounded ones that look like they've been shaped by the sea and that you just want to touch and others that are perfect as standing stones.
It was two of these that we rediscovered under the pile of building rubble yesterday. We already had standing stones on the edges of the drive to encourage visitors to not use the lawn as a turning circle, so we have used these latest two stones at the edge of the patio. Hopefully, nobody would want to use the patio to drive on, but these stones, which match the farm buildings, do add a touch of interest.
