I came across these coping stones on a walk last autumn through a woods on an old estate. They sit on a dry stone wall and I was taken by the pattern of the stone cutter on the surface – these stones would have been seen by more cattle than people but the work that went into them wouldn’t suggest this.  

I love the pattern, texture and colours of the stone – very tactile and calming. The lichen and mosses appreciate it too! Stopped for a while to ponder the past people and the view, cattle and colours. A very peaceful spot.
