Can anyone identify these white marks on my drive paving please? I

Just a lichen of some sort. It gives new stone a pleasantly weathered
'antique' look, imo.


Some say this look can be achieved by washing brickwork with diluted cow
muck.

Or getting it on new stone pots to make them look 'antique' by smearing them
with Yogurt.
