This was the view today out in beautiful and wild Conamara. The storm wreaked havoc on lots of trees out around the farm. Every cloud has a silver lining though and we'll have enough firewood to keep us warm for the next ten years.
We piled the chopped wood into little mounds to allow the wind to blow through and to dry it. It takes around 18 months gor the wood to dry out sufficiently. After that we move it into the shed for another bit of drying and then its ready for the fire.
There's great burning in it and we mix it in with turf for the perfect fire.
