I was having a chat with the person who tends the various patches of common land this morning and he reckons you're allowed no wood in the gardening waste wheelie bin. Bit rubbish isn't it if you can't put limbs and the sort in the brown bin? [Post edited 23 Feb 2021 19:16]

This is one of the best posts I may have ever read on TWTD. It amuses me in so many ways that I can't begin to start.
Many thanks, Oldsmoker. |
I think smoker and PJH should start a podcast and just talk for an hour about life and things. I'd subscribe | |

.....and wkj you could have created yourself a lovely summer house......

I can actually rustle up a pretty mean bivouac, buh! Perhaps one day we could go traipsing about the woods together, looking for some fungal friends... |  |

Summer house? Where I live this would be seen as a luxury family home | |

Many thanks for the help on this one and all of the PMS. The bloke from hatcheston turned up in his Peugeot Parner this morning granted my wish for a garden with no wood.
I thought I would share the before and after shots of the garden with all those involved. | |

Thanks hun, sorry I didn't catch this reply before. I will enjoy, nothing cements my status as a man of the world than a nice lush green lawn. God help any little scroat or cat that trys to walk on it though, I will be on my patio with my Remington cocked and loaded, we're not having a repeat of 2015, not on my watch. | |

No problem. I'm the patient sort.
Did that bloke offer you anything in return for the hazel? I know you shouldn't give gifts and hope for something in return, but he could have offered you some cut-price tickets or something for your trouble?
Or I guess you're just happy with a garden with no wood in it. | |

Usually that would be something I do but hazel is the wood in question and it's not a smoker wood sadly |
is it thin bits of Hazel? if so best type of kindling about
thick bits, Hazel is one of the most sought after logs for a fire |  | | |

@Bangor31 - I was iff about using hazel wood to smoke meat with, apparently there is a group who do, though I don't think i'd fancy it to be frank.
As for the bloke at Hatcheston, he barked he appreciation to me and offered me a lovely a chance to branch out with kids enter free coupon for every adult paying full price which I thought was a good chip off the price one would usually have to stump up. That said, it was plane to see that he was peering in to my house from his Peugeot Partner for a good 10 minutes before knocking on the door so I suspect he clocked on to the fact that I have no saplings, so, he was quite possibly a bit of a plank offering a hallow gesture.
At the end of the day I am just pleased I no longer have knots in my stomach and I can enjoy no wood in my garden. | |

Hasketon bloke, not late seventies and looking longingly at your larder, was he? Quite a tan? Beware of being moved into the 'share' or 'shafted' zone... |  |

That would be an awful scenario, and quite the foreshadowed coincidence I must admit. | |

It's Ipswich, we should always be more worried about the strikers we sell/give away than the ones we're signing from my experience! | | | |

Sounds like he really went out on a limb for you there. Hope he's not hauled over the coals and fired for his generosity though. | |

wkj's larder is fiercely guarded by his wife. He even has to ask for permission to enter (the larder)! | |

She can dictate access to her larder all she likes, I control the fridge, I control the universe. | |

Update: Bloke bought back all the wood in an irate state, turns out his boss wasn't happy that she got silver birch instead of hazel. So, sadly no wood went to Hatcheston, and I'm out a kids go free ticket. [Post edited 10 Jun 2019 20:21]
