I was delighted to meet Toby, a stonemason from Carshalton, today. Toby read the article on the front page of the Sutton Guardian last week about the theft of flagstones from the Carshalton War Memorial, and decided to do something about it. He contacted the Guardian and offered to replace the York stone flagstones at cost, providing his labour free of charge!True to his word, Toby and his boss from Stonewest Ltd, a company specialising in building restoration, conservation and stone masonry, met me on site today to measure up and get the job underway in time to be ready for the Remembrance Day Service.
Like me, you have probably got used to hearing bad news stories about the way people behave, but just now and again, something happens to restore my faith in the general good nature of people. Thank you Toby, and thank you Stonewest Ltd!
