Over the last couple of days, I’ve shored up that leaning log store mentioned just over a week ago, waterproofed the roof with some plastic left over from the polytunnel and got it reinstalled down at the far end of the garden. With that in place, it was time to get on and saw and split a lot of the logs that have been sitting awaiting attention. They do gradually season over time but that process is a lot faster when they are in shorter lengths with a lot of exposed surface area.

Winter is still a way off but we should have enough supplies to see us through, even if it is a harsh one.
