    Once upon a time, it was a mix of red and charcoal blocks, but now it’s mostly just grey with a hint of red. In the rain, it has a bit more colour, but they look very tired.

    There’s a quick photo of them after the light shower we just had

    I have very similar and looked into similar cobble lock sealer before, while it's supposed to be good it's mad money as linked and the cobble lock is pretty porous so a 25litre drum wouldn't go very far. I just resort to power washing mine once a year now and it generally holds up well apart from the odd weed that sprouts from the joints.

    Yeah, the stuff I linked to says it’ll do 3m2 per litre, and I’ve about 90m2 to cover, so yeah, a bit pricey. Might get the block magic to get the colour back in, but then use something like thomsons to do the sealing on top of it.
