One of the many joys of living in Derbyshire is the constant companionship of the dry stone walls and hedgerow boundaries that hug the landscape. Recently, during the centenary events to mark the end of WW1 I couldn't help but reflect upon the boys and men who never returned to this land, the boys and men who pieced the puzzle of dry stone walls together and skilfully laid the hedgerows. Their signature covers the land, an echo of their presence and physical labour and deep understanding of the natural world.
We remember you.
