I was on my own, there was no-one with me making the hedges. And there was someone making a hedge and he was making the hedge, and he did, he was not, he was not making it well, and it was not long made, before it all came down again. And I went and made it again after it was made by that man. And that hedge is standing yet.

Some of the stones are gone from that hedge. I don’t think much of the person, the people who made that hedge.
