Pauline, the boss, celebrated her 25 years in the stone business by bringing out a special one-off calendar.

 Since most stone yards are usually men-only, and Pauline's normal  attire at work is a jumper, trousers and wellies (with steel toe caps of course), as she spends a great deal of her time outside checking on the orders of paving slabs and stone, she thought she'd take the opportunity of celebrating her quarter of a century in the business by allowing herself the priviledge of posing in more feminine form for the photographer amongst the products she sells.

It was a very hot Sunday in August when the photographer arrived at the stone yard at Menston near Leeds.

It was so hot Pauline finished up taking off more clothes than she'd intended!!

The calendars were a huge success and sent to customers, suppliers, people in the stone trade and many othes who requested them.

She has no intention of making another one.

"It was a one-off" she insists.
