A very rotten tree had fallen on the outskirts of the village, so a neighbour and I went down, cut it up and bought it home. It’s very well seasoned, possibly too well, it’s very light and will burn very fast, but it’ll still give of heat and my neighbour said he’d burned worse, so that was good enough for me.
We went and stayed at a camp site (Daggles Camp site) just 6.5 miles from home at the weekend. We had the entire site to ourselves which was lovely. We did get rained on in the morning of the second day, but managed to get packed up without getting wet. We borrow the tent, which was far better than our 2 man tent. Due to the dry conditions there were cracks in the ground which interested me, I would have liked to have found out how deep they went. Though I doubt the owner would have been as interested in having huge holes dug in their camp site. I was able to get my arm pretty far down then it got too narrow to hold a torch. These cracks ran for tens of meters and seemed to occur more around the edges of the field than in the middle.
