I used to chop wood when I was a kid and my parents had a fire. I'm lucky I didn't injure myself really. I would like a wood fire, but these days they seem to be considered unhealthy and polluting. I'll have to look again at the options to see if there are safe ways to do it.
How many chopping days to Xmas?
