Gathering Winter Fuel
Yesterday, there was excitement at our mooring, as several of us had got together to organise a van, and to pick up two very large sacks of firewood. It is offcuts from a furniture company, and this lot cost us only £25 for what is in fact extremely good quality hardwood. Indeed, it does seem a shame to burn it!

A couple of years back while going through Bulbourne lock I noticed someone burning nice pieces of oak on a bonfire! (Leftovers from a wooden boat build) I couldn't bear the waste so to Neil's embarrassment asked for some. The guy was more than happy for me to take all I could load on board. Neil also wasn't happy when it came to cutting it up - it was very hard!
