Timber!

These are some of the trees that were taken down around the piney woods a couple of weeks ago. The crews use tractors that are equipped with what I'll call "gripping hands." They grab a "handful" of logs, lift and swing them around, then stack them more or less neatly as you can see here.

That's a lot of wood!

Lamb leftovers were delicious. We ate the lamb cold (well, room temperature) with Ken's home made mayonnaise, cooled steamed potatoes and green beans (flageolets). And I think we'll be able to make a small third meal for two with what's left. Yum!

  1. Your leftovers look tasty... [Ken's post]
    And your wood above in the foreground is going for woodchip... it'll be left as an eyesore for at least six months, possibly 18 [depending on what has been agreed with the landowner where it is parked] and either taken away like this, or ground into woodchip on site... you need to go and watch, plenty of photo opps!
    But the neatly cut and stacked logs in the background are going for timber... they could vanish at any moment... just when it is convenient for the buyer to come and collect.
