After 26 years, I could probably go back to the exact spot where I found this wonderful Bronze Age flint knife.

Some finds just stick in your memory like that..... πŸ₯°

I have over many years acquired rather a lot of old keys πŸ₯°

It's time to do something with them. These have been through the tumbler to knock off the rust. Very pleased with the result.

Funny you should save that.

Think it could be sliding down the slope it's built on. πŸ˜‚

70's I think. Built by a farmer, badly πŸ˜‚

Soon started to dry and set. Easiest, but probably not the cheapest way to do it, but needed done in a hurry.

There's uneven, then there's this house πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

That was a heavy hour this morning. We had to mix and lay 50 bags of levelling compound, to a floor which was 50mm (2 inches) out of level.
