Peter brought with him many different samples of stone for us to see and touch. Moreover, he illustrated how he himself used stone features and aggregates to create his own garden lake and wild flower meadow. He also showed us how to make a DIY water feature, explaining why, here in Cumbria, water pumps are still best powered by electricity rather than solar storage batteries.

Peter and his wife, Emma kindly asked that a donation to Hospice at Home be given in lieu of a fee.
