Logs on the blog!

The idea was that if we went away in January when it was very cold and returned in February when it was getting warmer that we wouldn't need so much heating and that we would then get logs during the summer ready for next winter.


However, while we were away in January it was relatively mild and as soon as we returned the temperature fell and we have had a severe cold spell since. Consequently, we needed a fresh supply of logs.


Ramón brought them yesterday and at the same time pulled out a small apple tree which had been looking decidedly sick.


Here they only burn olive wood; it gives out a lot more heat and burns longer than pine.


Earlier today, Margaret stacked the logs so now we have a plentiful supply again.
