If Winter Comes……..

Well we must be prepared for the worst mustn’t we.

And this is all we have left of last years wood.

This morning at 8 am, this little load, four steres ( a stere is a cubic metre ) of Oak and Beech, were deposited outside our front door.

Two hours later this hugely satisfying pile was neatly, nay beautifully , arranged on our terrace.
(ie : two hours and two knackered Dwyers later)
I must confess I gazed in wonder and satisfaction at the pile for some minutes, some primitive instinct overtook me , a feeling that I had provided for my family against the winter .
(Funnily I can never remember feeling the same, or gazing with the same rapture at the full tank of oil in Waterford)

As I said we got four steres this year compared to three last year (pictured freshly delivered above)

I think we did better this year, so either he gave us a bit extra this year to thank us for our custom, or, he did us, last year.
Being naturally charitable I go for the former.
