Stone clearing with Richard Herring.

With Richard Herring. Well, hello there. Well, hello there. welcome to another chapter of Stoneclaring with Richard Herring.

Um, where we're about 28, I don't know, 29. 30, I don't keep count.

Uh, but anyway, it's about 8.11 on the 1st of July, 2019.

We're definitely in the summer months and then my fine friends.

Back home after the vacation away from the field.

So as you will have heard, I did do a little bit of stone clearing to keep my hand in.

Up on the hills' very secret location from Devon, I will never reveal.

Good to be back is a sunny day. It's been a very hot weekend.

I have been up on the field since coming back

from holiday there. I didn't record it. Last night, in fact, I followed the trail through the

field of wheat. I felt like Theresa May. But there was a gap and I did find a lot of stones,

just a few yards out in the field really gave me some idea of the scope of what I still have to achieve

as I've been dithering around on the edges as you'll know for most of the last few months

and I said to get a little way out and find the many, many stones that are just on one

little pathway through the stones. We may venture out there today if there's not too many

people around. The bad news is I can't locate my archaeological trowel. I did see it yesterday. It was in the sandpit. The kids

have been playing with it, which is obviously not right. I've just been really looking for it

all. The last 20 minutes. What is a dead mouse on the pathway there? Come, we'll see that.

The dead mouse, not for you.

Life and death here. We cannot care for the death of a mouse

when there is so much else to be done.
