The last we bought (14 stères) three years ago came to 38 euros/stère, but it was not all oak. It was mixed wood and fine for the wood-burner.<br /><br />Andrew, we heat with wood, partially. We also have an oil-fired boiler and radiators, but we try to limit the amount of oil we burn.<br /><br />Starman, yes, our friends will have to come by car from their place to ours (3 miles) and get wood when they need some.

We'll check in the shop in Saint-Aignan this morning when we go to the market.

But it was the way the tail is held that drew our attention.... whoever designed that is a cat owner or a good observer... very proud gait.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16439261142732764451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-46740120462663809442010-12-30T20:56:02.316+01:002010-12-30T20:56:02.316+01:00That's a lot of wood.
