One of the particpants in the workshop wrote us the next day to say...

"Wow, what a great weekend we had building the wall at Crieff. The property owners were gracious in their hospitality and trusting in the fact that 14 rookies would leave them with something beautiful. John and Matt were terrific teachers and even better company. Thanks to all for a weekend that I will always remember."
