Got this genius tip from Permaculture Magazine this month - use an old tyre to hold logs you are splitting. It stops them flying off in different directions and meaning loads of bending down and gathering them up again to stack, plus is supports those awkward ones that never stand up easily to be hit with the axe. This is an old quad bike tyre, once I've got some bigger logs to stand it on I'm going to try with a car tyre.

Scarlett, junior crofter
It gives me so much joy to see how happy this lifestyle makes Scarlett and how she thrives on it. Today she was out on the croft while we were bringing firewood up and she went and dug out her sledge, loaded a bag of logs on to it and dragged it up the hill. It probably weighed almost as much as she does. She is an amazing, confident, happy girl who makes me proud every single day.
