This afternoon on my way to the shops, just round the corner from the end of my road, I saw several lengths of clean wood, 50/60 cms long with screws sticking out of them. A short time with a screwdriver and then sawn* in half they would be perfect for my wood-burning stove.
On the way home they were still there. I took my neighbour's shopping into her house, put it all away, sorted out the cheque to pay for it. Went and put my shopping away and then walked up the road to find all the wood gone!
Is there another person with a wood-burning stove, or perhaps an open fire, locally? If so we will now be in competition with each other!
With 2 lots of shopping and one shopping trolley I already propping 3 canvas bags of shopping on the top of the trolley so couldn't have collected the wood on the way home.
* The spell-check didn't like this, but I've just checked my dictionary and it's in there!
