Hi Matt,
I'm not too sure what you used for your cobblestones,i'm assuming that you may have used lentils?Either way you can mix up a little Polyfiller with water.Take a small pot pour a little war,then add the powder to it.Always add powder to water and not vice versa!It's best to use as little water as possible.It would pay to spray the lentils first with some hairspray ,otherwise you can run the risk of the lentils swelling up!
I use my finger to smear on the plaster to fill up the gaps between the cobbles,a little messy but it works!
Hope this has been of some help mate,
Kia Kaha,Shay

Here in the US we would use wall spackle. It just depends on whats around your area.

the rest of the advice is the same as the previous post.
