A LOT OF WOOD

I returned home this afternoon to find the back lawn covered in wood. Literally. The reason is that we have arranged to have two big ash trees felled. They weren't particularly attractive and they took a lot of early evening sunlight from the front of the house. So they had to go.

The problem is that in the interests of cost savings, the trees were simply felled. It is now up to me to chop them up and stack the resulting logs for the wood-burning stove. I already know that this is going to take me a while.
