on my last day with Delabodge...Me and Glyn took down an Oak each and the spec was to leave the Arrisings to burn and the Ringed up wood and logs...made it a lot easier but there was a lot of Timber to stack etc...Dangerous Dave forgot the mallet..The trunks were going to be milled but weren,t in the end as there was so much sap wood it didn,t seem worthwhile just for a small ammount of slabs..That was my last job with D.L.B and time to meet up with Mick and the lads..
