What a brilliant, if busy day!
Started off with an oak tree down in the park opposite, the council workers just dropped it, bucked it, and walked away.
Had I not been so keen on getting the wood, I'd have probably moaned about the mess they left.........
However, on my 5th wheelbarrow load, passing my new neighbours house, he came out and offered me a cherry tree.
And a load of pallets for kindling, and said he would save any future trees for me (he works as a landscape gardener, and often has trees to get rid of).
He is so pleased, he has been paying the council to dispose of them where he used to live!
Last week, I reckoned I was just about 3 years ahead on wood, suddenly, it's looking quite comfortable.
Nope, I don't need to win the lottery, I feel like I just won the jackpot![shock !!! !!!](/talk/styles/default/xenforo/smileys/shock.gif)
