The morning routine

The commune's hedge trimmer (6 circular saws on a tractor) has been busy down all the country roads here and left a bit of a mess. It's the farmer's duty to clear it up but he's too busy so he said "elp yourself", so we have been. Two hours a day in the morning before it gets hot, totally peaceful, sawing up wood, getting pumped arms. Who'd have thought it a year ago?

What the hedge trimmer trims - badly. Coppiced chestnut knackered.

Aftermath.

A lot of it is pushed to the sides, all tangled up. Bit of a job to get it sorted...

...but we're up to the task!

The result: free wood for an hour or two's pleasant work in the morning.
