As some may know, I love working on chimneys, maybe it’s because I get to watch the sunrise every morning, or just because I enjoy being high up, but it’s a real treat either way.
And this chimney was in a poor state, missing a pot, I could take it apart without the need for a hammer and chisel and some bricks were in a bad way. So I took it down and with a lil lovin’ and tlc put it back together again with salvaged bricks, a salvaged pot and now it’s ready to rock for another 150 years🧱

I recently had the pleasure of being part of a short documentary as part of Wentworth Woodhouse’s film festival. All about heritage crafts and getting more young people involved in the craft.
I was a very different experience but really enjoyed it! Louise, the Wonder Woman who reached out to get me involved and created the documentary, was great to work with and she’s done a really nice job!
Even had the joy of going back to college and getting to film with my first mentor, my college tutor Ian, who along side my parents was another great support in my bricklaying journey, and to this day, still continues to guide and educate me.

Today I wrote my first blog post! I’ve been contemplating doing a blog for a few years, and even more so recently after completing the SPAB Fellowship and learning loads about old buildings.
The blog is about historic buildings, things I have learned and topics like to debate! With the comments section always open it’s a nice way to interact about a topic that is so interesting!
The link is in my bio on how to read it, called ‘Trowel Marks’, and watch out for future posts!

Over the recent weekend I had the pleasure of being an assistant tutor on the SPAB historic brickwork masterclass alongside the wonderful Terrance Lee.
Held for 2 days at Elvaston Castle and Gardens, there were plenty of brick walls in need of some tlc. Over the course of the weekend the participants were shown how to carry out honest brickwork repairs, pointing as well as lime mortar mixes, a fantastic weekend and thankfully the weather was on our side!

For the past 2 weeks I’ve been spending time at Saddell Castle, plastering and lime washing with the boys from Limerich.
Plastering a spiral staircase and a couple of ceilings!
It’s been a great to have been back on site again and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed working alongside these lads!
Swipe to the last photo to see just how happy I was 😂😂

This week I’ve done capital to capital!
Started in London at Hampton Court Palace, doing some brick cutting and rubbing as well as garden wall surveys, then a long old journey up to Edinburgh (one of my favourite cities!), to the magnificent castle. 🏰
Certainly put some miles in this week! 🛣️🚗
