I do not think it will be a question of price much more like insurance against having no heat at all from electric or gas, maybe oil too. In which case people will pay anything if wood becomes scarce

Oh to be 25 again eh Stubby, but armed with three score years experience and a bit more money than we had then! A day's axe splitting is just not worth the aches and pains of the next day, the axe is irrelevant!

Did another curved wall here in the garden really to protect the Ash tree Looks a bit bleak and bare in Winter but a picture when the roses come out

Very good Gary, much better than Stubby! Just do not google "A woman, a dog and a Walnut tree" when your other half is watching!

Next thing anyone sitting in a room with a wood stove will be forced to wear a mask or risk a heavy fine

It is the easiest system in herringbone formation and uses no cement or sand We made a HaHa at the old farmhouse in 1970 to keep the cows out of the garden, but retain the view to the grass field and trees It was leaning back slightly into the bank and eventually roots found their way into the cracks and held it together. It has survived all this time through heavy rain, earthquakes and cattle rubbing A friend of father’s in the next door Farm decided to copy it but chickened out at the last moment and built a solid wall with cement. This cracked and fell over after about five years as there was no give in it when the soil moved

Sorry no sun in these ones but just a Fantastic display of snowdrops in a copse here

Here we have yet another “Follow the Science” So the pollution from wood burning is only half what it was last year. This follows all the government models for many things including Covid deaths and Climate Change forecasts Sure it should always be “ Question the Science” with automatically being called a denier. Question the science and expect a calmly reasoned response

Todays sunrise plus the snowdrops

Neither Oak or Copper Beech No prizes this time as I cannot afford it! By the way Where is Conor Wright with his essay on chainsaws having walked away with the last prize of the “ Danger may start talking about chainsaws “ coffee mug!

There was a big row some years back when the Churchwarden locked the gate into the Church field for the one day. There were a couple of houses in the Church field and an ambulance was called to one of them and could not enter and I think after that it has not been locked again

Hence my gate and fence But I really do not want to be seen as a “Git orf moi Land” farmer and 95% of the locals appreciate the access . In fact it was one of the regular locals, a strong character, who gave the knob in the village a dressing down for exactly the reason that if he carried in insisting it was a public footpath that I would probably completely close it down to the detriment of the whole community
