    Firewood.

    Where do you get yours? Is it special? What's it cost? And how much do you get through?

    I love the heft of a good fat log me.

    Its so expensive these days. I suppose it doesn't grow on trees.

      I wait for storms like the recent one and scour the local area for downed trees and big branches, collect them for next year and leave them to dry out in part of the coal shed
      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

          We've still not got through the logs from the trees we chopped down two years ago. I reckon we'll probably make it through this winter without buying any, and by next winter we'll have a load more that have been seasoned.

          We get leaflets shoved through the door offering 100 logs for £40, but we've found them chaeper by asking around.

                Our kindling comes from pruning trees each year.
                The next couple of years wood will be from 2 trees I've taken down recently (eucalyptus and sycamore)

                  I never struggle to get wood.

                  I was just curious, I see stuff for sale from about £70 per cubic metre (that's quite a lot of logs) up to £140 a cubic metre for all-cut-the-same-length-kiln-dried-I-want-to-be-one-of-the-beautiful-people bulltulip. Wondered how things were around this little island of ours.

                    You can fit downed trees in your coal shed? **** me I might need to upgrade the house.
