I've found a way of grafting stones together. If you mix sand and cement into a sort of paste and put it between two stones after a couple of days they graft together into one. In this way you can build up a family boulder made up of several different types of stone.

So to summarise:
Stones don't grow but soil shrinks
Use for paths is what all thinks
Then there's flints to be honed
To Primmy's plot to get stoned
Rock and roll with songs a plenty
Damn great boulders acting sentry

Reminds me of when I started gardening up in Orkney... was not just stones but all kinds of broken china and once even a carpet, When there was no rubbish collection. Here in Ireland I expected that and sure enough.. chief trophy was a full set of dentures.. and the teapot spout made me all but weep knowing how these folk love their tea...
