Seeing the wood for the trees...

Spot the dead tree!

This is a grand fir that for reasons unknown has given up the ghost and is one of the trees in our wood that we have selected for felling. Others include fallen trees that are hung up, leaning on other trees and a few that need thinning.

We are planning to cut these into short lengths for transporting home on the trailer, then splitting using borrowed tractor power before drying and burning on the wood burner.

The sun shone all day, so it was a real pleasure to be out and about today - the dogs were ecstatic and chased each other through the trees.
