cutting edge

Last Christmas, his books were all about wood..how to grow, chop, season, store, and burn it. For his birthday, he asked for an axe. the woodshed is almost full to the rafters and I am writing this in front of a roaring fire.

Today a new book arrived through the post..so I'm guessing that D will be asking for a scythe this year, and that our lawnmower will soon be following him into retirement.

Actually, it looks like a really fascinating read:

Chapter One : How Scything will Change Your Life

Chapter Three : How to Get the Best From Your Body (includes the Alexander Technique and how to meditate)

Chapter Nine : Growing and Harvesting Small Grains (including a recipe for sourdough bread)

Looks like 2017 is going to be an interesting year!
