We have a log-burner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s actually a dual-fuel fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it’s in use, it kicks out a lovely bunch of heat that not only fills downstairs but also heats our room (the bedroom chimney-breast carries residual heat).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During the day we burn kiln-dried logs, which I buy in at half a ton at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When we choose to keep it in through the night we put a load of coal on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our Government (bless) have decided they are going to make burning coal illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are also going to make burning wet wood illegal, but that’s OK because we don’t burn wet wood (by definition, kiln-dried logs can’t be wet).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Except, of course, a lot of people pick up firewood (especially during Storm Ciabatta – whatever).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So in the future, picking up wood and\/or chopping up fallen trees or branches for firewood is going to be illegal and transgressors will be sent to the Tower of London to be beheaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or something.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
