Wood fuel fair.

This Saturday I hope to attend the National Wood Fuel Fair (Byline: 'Kindling your enthusiasm'). Questionable puns aside it looks to be an interesting day and I hope to see and learn some useful information to keep us warm for next winter. I am particularly interested in charcoal making and have already started filtering the charcoal from the ashes of our wood burner to use on the BBQ over the summer.

It seems we have made it through the particularly cold winter with a great deal of wood left to spare. Our gas consumption over the whole period has averaged just £20 per month, which has been further helped by installing new high grade windows throughout the house. Once I've gotten round to laying out all the loft insulation that's waiting to be laid, we should be even more energy efficient.

I'll try and include some photos after the event.
