It's not unusual to find a sculpted panel made of fired brick-clay one storey above ground.
I think it's much less common to find standard laid bricks that have been routed.
I can't tell you how happy I am that I have been joined on my Advent Calendar quest by both SaraEvans and madwill. Thank you both!
Today's news is that I've been stood down from the hectic job at work and asked to hold the fort with the day-to-day business as usual tasks. The timing couldn't have been better, I've grabbed as much top-rate overtime as I can without having to work round-the-clock. My eyes are so grateful.
