I want to have a log pile as part of the wild garden area on the plot but it’s taken to now, or rather last week, to find some suitable logs to start it off.
Over the coming months I shall keep an eye out for more to add to these few 
so that come next autumn it will hopefully provide a haven for any wildlife who want to make use of it.
Yesterday, Christmas Day, was grey and wet but thankfully today is dry and sunny. It was nice to go to the allotment and stroll round this morning.
Whilst there I added the accumulated kitchen waste, mostly vegetable peelings, orange peel, egg shells and tea bags to the compost heap.
A site that I’ve added to Plot People is 
which I came across the other evening 
. An event that I shall mention again nearer the time is Shed Week 2008 which starts on 8th July.

I hope you’ll find many a suitable log for the pile. But I’m rubbing my eyes as I look at your page – I do believe there’s some snow falling gently!

Nikki thanks! It’s not as easy as it sounds but I’ll be keeping an eye out.
The falling snow is thanks to WordPress. Have a look at the homepage news ‘Let it snow!…’ It’s only to January 2nd.

I like the effect very well as I will not likely see any snow around here!

Nikki it’s good but looks a lot better over on yours!

Daffy very nice! I don’t mind snow here but would rather not have any on my doorstep. xx

What a good idea. I may well have to get some wood and do the same.

[...] want to do something else good for the environment and for local wildlife you could always follow Flighty’s lead and get a wood pile [...]

I too can’t wait for national shed week and I’m planning a week of articles to go with it!
Happy New Year – you’re a new discovery from This is My Patch. Will be stopping by from time to time to read your good stuff…

VP hello and thanks for stopping by to comment! It should be fun, and I’ll be doing an entry to celebrate it.
I’ve just had a look at your blog, and made a couple of comments. I’ll add you to my Lawn Loungers list which will remind me to stop by regularly.
Happy New Year to you too!
