The sun was just setting this evening, when we heard a noise in the field behind the house. Our friend Guy was there, on his tractor, with a huge trailer loaded with firewood, on the offchance that we might want it, because he needs the trailer emptying! It’s all split and cut to length already, but Nick wasn’t impressed when I pointed out that “all” it needs is stacking; there’s about 5 cubic metres, or two days’ work for him and Kieran. We’ve enough wood now to keep us toasty warm for several years to come 🙂 And our side of the bargain? English lessons for Guy’s wife and son.
