img_9711.jpgimg_9712.jpg Today we went for a walk around Warton Cragg, where a gorgeously atmospheric mist had descended. However, the whole area acquired a new significance in light of the (fairly) recent purchase of the wood-burning stove. Looking around, it became clear that there was enough wood lying around on the ground (in various forms: massive trees that had recently fallen; trees that had fallen and been vaguely cut up; neat little piles of logs, pegged down to stop them rolling away) to keep my wood-burner going for the rest of my life . . . and beyond. But to enter the main area of woodland, we had to pass a sign that read (amongst other things), "No collection without permission" (or something to that effect). Exactly who we ask permission from remains a mystery. I've contacted the council about this but am still awaiting a response. I'm wondering about the logistics of transporting wood from inaccessible woodland (well, inaccessible in the sense of vehicles) back to somewhere accessible. Hmmmm.
