it must be getting on for 6 months since i cut and stacked this wood pile at our house in ireland ready for the next time we get over...it's a labour of love for me...i did it all by hand and enjoyed every minute...there's something very therapeutic about sawing wood ready for the fire or stove and it relaxes me...the orangey logs are alder and these were from 'pruning' some of the trees we have there, mainly to improve the view up the hill from the south side of the house as it was getting a bit restricted and i like the longer view...the lighter logs are hawthorn which was knocked down by a construction crew who were widening the lane...they're not very careful or caring of the trees and bushes but then it's a very fertile place and stuff grows at an amazing rate so i guess it's not a very big deal to lose a few here and there as they'll be quickly replaced...
