Although we strive to make everyday special, and to some extent different; however there are some seasonal tasks which ‘frame’ the day. It’s not exactly a daily task but chopping kindling and bringing in firewood for the next few days is one of those and is always a satisfying task. With frozen ground underfoot and the warm winter morning sunshine raising a sweat; it’s a great way to start the day preparing the fuel, and then end the day (well at least start the evening, as it gets dark about 6.00 pm here at the moment) indoors with the hot glow of a roaring fire lighting up the room.
