Ash for the fire

Daddy cut down an Ash tree today as it was growing too close to our house. Rather than waste the wood, we cut it into smaller pieces for Gran and Grandpa to burn. This evening, when it started getting colder, Grandpa used some of the wood to start a lovely cosy fire ... thank you Ash tree!

"Ash logs, all smooth and grey. Burn them green or old; Buy up all that come your way; They're worth their weight in gold"
