Spring is here

Spring has sprung, the daffs are starting to  come up, snowdrops line the drive lambs play in the fields.

So which bright herbert came up with the master plan of cutting wood this morning when an icy blast had made it's way from Siberia to deliver winter like cold on top of this mountain.

Normally axing is a job done in a t shirt, not t shirt pullover 2 layers of DPM, firefighters thermal hood and gloves.    

Both of us are so cold we cannot remember which one of us suggested this hare brained idea.

Still it's done now and we have processed the best part of half a ton of wood. All chopped to matchwood so it will burn quickly delivering maximum heat.

I might need to use some of that heat to warm the water so I can sit in the bah for a few hours recovering from hypothermia.
