~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
**this stone had to be lifted slightly
higher as the large hole it came out
of had to be packed full with crushed
gravel to make a more stable base
for it to sit in. Hopefully this will stop
it from sinking for many years.
**the soil stuck to the stone will be
allowed to dry naturally and will
be dry brushed away after a few days.
