Firewood

Just a quick note: I've spent most of today sawing, splitting, and stacking a load of firewood (mostly chestnut, which is a pleasure to work with). It's not straightforward, as a one-person job, sadly. The sawing is fine, but splitting is quicker with two (one to split, the other to place on the block); and stacking is the same number of man-hours, but not divided. I took the doors off the fruit cages, which meant I could barrow straight down to the shelter (with two of us, we usually went across the middle garden and down the steps, but the steps take two of you). Still, got the load done, which is the main thing.
