Outside at daylight, poultry given breakfast, came inside and we had breakfast, then we spent 4 hours in our small willow wood cutting it all back. Thick branches for the woodburner next year, medium branches for weaving fences and bird feeding places. Incinerator going for all the tiny twigs - all in all, a very satisfying morning. Too much time wasted watching the birds - woodpeckers, chaffinches, blue tits, long tailed tits, blackbirds etc., our resident buzzard and heron and our tame robin.
Now we are going to have a large bowl of home made vegetable soup and some home made bread

Looks so cosy in there and sounds like you have plenty wood to last. I love the fan on my stove - only found out about it here and it's been a 'best buy'!!

I love my multifuel burner - coal for easy overnight burn, wood for a quick burst and lovely flames. Massively more efficient than open fires where mlost of the heat goes up the chimney, and the high draught pulls more cold air into the house! Have often wondered about a stove fan - perhaps I should get one.
Got to disagree with you though CDD - I don't count that time watching the birds as "wasted"!
Never forget that life is a finite resource.
Experience is something you gain just after you needed it most.

Our log burner is too efficient really, we end up with the patio doors open! I too have a family of buzzards and worry about my small bantams.
It never worries me when I get a little lost, all I do is change where I'm going
