Who knew that finding the right consistency for daub would be so difficult? Too much sand and it crumbles. Too much clay and it cracks. The 80/20 sand to clay rule doesn't seem to apply, so we're on our second attempt (the first lot gave way almost entirely and had to be pulled down) and now that it's starting to dry, crevices are appearing. We hope they're only superficial - winter will let us know, no doubt...
Here are some photos of Clare and Aideen mixing the daub and applying it:
