Plea to stop
If you know of someone who has been randomly returning home with armfuls, boxfuls, bagfuls or boot fulls of off cut pine, could you please ask them to stop taking mine.
I’ve gone, since yesterday, from having enough to last till next months delivery, to having enough for a couple of days.
Luckily I still have enough hard wood to last, but it means using some of next winters supply.
I noticed, on odd occasions, that it seemed to be disappearing, a little at a time, over the past few months, and just figured someone must be a bit desperate, but this time a lot has gone, and I’m really peeved. It’s for my heating, my water heating, my clothes drying, and often my cooking.
I don’t have electric heating, and don’t want it, and, as anyone with a fire knows, firewood this time of year is really expensive, especially if you have to get it urgently, and there are no guarantees it’ll be dry enough to burn properly.
So please, if it’s you, or you know who it is, stop. Just because I live in a “wealthy area” doesn’t mean I‘m wealthy. I can’t afford to supply other homes.
Rant over.
