In autumn 2023 tempest Ciaran laid waste to a great number of trees in Brittany. This one was weakened and then fell in a subsequent storm a week or so later.

At first glance it does not look much. The shed in the background is however 4-5 metres long!

That is a lot of wood and debris..There were many trips to the green waste tip.

Sized and stacked…and now two years later ready for use in autumn 2025.
This morning I split a bunch of these and the wife stacked them in the garage….
Many talk a good climate game, few put their backs into to it with a 2.5 kg splitting axe…some can be a bit cerebral and precious.
It is a nice feeling to know we will use the carbon from the tree felled by a perhaps climate change fueled tempest to heat our home.
At over 100 trees we are by rough calculation aproximately carbon neutral.
We are making ready for when I can’t use the axe late autumn. One more session and we are good to go.
