Stoat-ally Stone

It is always a lovely feeling to have new stone at the workshop, lots of promise of carving to come and those fresh quarried blocks just look beautiful!

Yesterday I unloaded them all into a pile, awaiting sorting and putting on pallets. This morning when I came to the stack to begin the task, a little head popped out, and then quickly disappeared.   It was a Stoat, checking out the pile of stone – perhaps thinking it would make a perfect new home!  I watched him clambering and weaving in and out of the stones, peeking at me occasionally and then dashing off.
