We are still in paradise up at the cottage and today we had the [probably fairly obvious task] of cutting up all the trees that we had felled the today and the day previously.
Darren was still keen to cut down a couple more suspect trees so once they were all down [safety and not on any nearby buildings! Darren is extremely skilled when it comes to trees) we were ready to chop!
I had always fancied learning how to swing an axe but Darren was still [very] wary about me getting involved with the sharp items too heavily but I was happy moving all the wood around and making the most stylish log pile in the neighborhood.

He was very gracious and did let me have a quick go and it is documented above. Can I just say that chopping wood is NOT easy and anyone that says so is either delusional or The Terminator. Darren is AWESOME chopping wood - that boy has skills, I was so impressed! There is a video of me above and also some handy axe-wielding tips from D!
Here is the finished log pile - A great day of work! I can't wait to build the wood shed!
Darren was very happy with the work that we had done and had a weight off his shoulders knowing that the rotten trees were down and not a threat to the cottage during the treacherous winter months.
I love this photo! Darren contemplating the days work by the fire.. sigh.
