Rained most of the day and snowed for perhpas ten minutes mid afternoon, nothing stuck though. Very cold, we have the fire lit, first time in the afternoon. The woodman came today. £70 for a load of logws, that is if he had any. The land is too wet to get on to do any tree felling and everybody wants wood. Getting to the stage of being no cheaper than oil. Worst comes to the worst, it is goodbye Ash tree!
