When we were at Rothersthorpe I always had a stack  and I used to cut it in the barn without worrying about disturbing the neighbours too much with the chain saw but we're a little closer to our neighbours here and I have to cut outside. To avoid making a nuisance of myself I limit the noise to about an hour at a time and in truth this is all my back and knees will take these days.

The stack is looking reasonable and there's probably enough to last us for about a month especially as the wood burner is very efficient and the house is so well insulated that we only need to light it for a couple of hours and we're as warm as toast; in fact Jane is possibly too warm.
