Can you tell me what paving this is (and how to upload a photo of it)

We found some paving slabs in a corner of our garden, which I want to use but we dont have enough of them, however, I cannot for the life of me find them. I dont know what they';re called so dont know what to search for.

I have taken photos for you to see but cant upload them (dont know how)

They are a honey coloured stone, quite rustic looking, not terracota. We only need about 10 of the big ones.

    If you can find tiles with a similar texture but not the same colour you could create quite a nice effect by mixing colours and sizes, or by using something different to make a border round the area you're paving, thereby reducing the area of paving needing your honey coloured slabs.
