We noticed that we were not wearing the correct uniform as the auctioneers were  dressed in <a title="Hunter Boots" href="http://www.hunterboots.com/mens-field-wellington-boots/" target="_blank">Hunter wellingtons</a> (not zipped up) , wax jacket, tweed coat, checked shirt and tie, and a tweed cap.

The auction went very swiftly with the professional firewood people knowing their prices and bidding accordingly. We managed to win two piles of decent wood paying £65 and £70 respectively however we believe they amounted to over £200 worth of wood if we had bought them from a dealer.

It took four journeys with the trailer to collect it all and thanks to the assistance of Dave &amp; Lucie the task didn't take too long.
