The nativity scene that I started to carve last winter from a block of stone weighing 16 stones (bottom photo) is now finished. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photograph of the finished job before covering it with wooden boards and building it into the wall at the bottom of our drive. The boards will come of at Christmas, the nativity scene will be lit up and I will invite people to make donations for CRISIS, the charity whose aim is to end homelessness. My next stone carving will be a stone "rose" window, measuring 25 inches square. I spent two hours last week levelling the surface and there is still more to do (see top photo).
