Just another woodland wednesday.

My first effort at this was posted whilst still blank. Very appropriate.

Another quiet management less Wednesday but one where she left barking the crisp instruction :

"Tidy up"

I have sort of complied but mainly spent the day marchalling our dwindling supply of firewood.

The fires are out as an economy measure but will need to go back in soon before the freezing management comes back off the top of her mountain.

The wood situation is becoming a bit critical. The holidays cannot come soon enough we need the kids at home so we can get some serious woodcutting done.

Every year in a wave of good intentions we vow to spend April and May cutting wood. Of course this year we had the house on the market and were expecting not to be here, at least that was my excuse.

The result has been a saw to fire winter so far, running very close to the wind.

Not ideal really firewood needs a bit of time on the ground before you burn it.

But the weather is well short of optimal for anything of an outdoors type.

So I suppose "tidy up" has a certain appeal.
