So last Thursday in Torridon an ENORMOUS lorry came down the steep and narrow road to the cottage, manoeuvred with difficulty into position, and deposited a crate containing 1.5 cubic meters of firewood logs outside the garden gate.
Here I am patiently waiting inside the house as Gail transported 17 wheelbarrow loads (that's 51 full bags) of ash logs all the way to the shed at the far end of the garden, lifted the bags into the shed and stacked the logs, two layers deep, against the side wall.
Of course I had to inspect the finished work, not forgetting to water the Crocosmia (Montbretia) flowers en route to the shed.
Pleased to report Gail did a tolerably neat job of stacking the logs and now we are all set for winter!
