Sunday, 31st March 2002

After jumping up and down in the road, like a fool, looking over the hedgerows I finally saw the capstone sitting close to a hedge and it looked very promising. So, I quickly skirted the fields and approached it only to be very disappointed indeed.

I thought at first that is was built into the field boundary but it appears to be piled up into the hedgerow with no structure whatsoever.

A very sad sight.
