It’s class mate, I was out with my wife and boy so just got some quickies & didn’t really get enough video to show it’s greatness like. Next time 🙂

I found a 75mm blue brick. When i split it it was yellow inside with raspberry tints. Kept about 100 of them. Cut them down in to brick slips. Still using them now for slips inbetween over sailing coursing with yellow and black muck. Looks lush
