Kindling and logs

We're planning to deliver a load of firewood to a customer tomorrow, who'd specifically asked if we still had any wood from two years ago. We did, and so we spent a while this afternoon cutting it up (using the rack we built last summer), and loading the trailer.
This is our "new" trailer - it only cost us £20, and we spent £40 replacing the tyres, and now it's ready to roll! It's a braked trailer, so can carry more weight than our smaller one.

Tracy's ankles are sore at the moment, due to some inflamed tendons, so she's trying to keep off her feet some of the time. So while I was cutting logs, she was making kindling:
It's labour-intensive, but is quite therapeutic!
