David King @davestonework.bsky.social · 26/04/2026Apple 'Ten Commandments' locally grafted & added to our garden two years ago. It's on dwarfing stock, so should get decent fruit set this season. #heritageapples #appletrees 030

David King @davestonework.bsky.social · 26/03/2025Just finished restoring a couple of runs of collapsed estate walls. The local style is for them to have brick coping. This gives a pretty finish, but over time the wall relaxes, but the bricks don't. 010

David King @davestonework.bsky.social · 15/02/2025'Stone of the week'. Top left. Hand dressed quoin in Forest Marble. Sits nicely with plenty of reach to tie back into the old wall. I'm a big fan of this material, it's Cotswold limestone but very hard & durable. #drystonewalling #Cotswolds 020
