I’m A Lumberjack And I’m OK …..

How much wood could a woodcutter cut if a woodcutter could cut wood?....

We’ve been helping Granddad Colin cut logs …… wood being his fuel of choice through the autumnal and winter months.

It was real hard “mans” work …. for men!

….Darrell kept our spirits high all day by humming and occasionally bursting forth with a mixed up version of the chorus and verses of The Lumberjack Song, amid humungous peels of laughter causing him to hyperventilate at times.

It was greatly satisfying when we had finished, and gazed up at the huge pile of logs that we had cut …

….. Especially knowing that Granddad Colin would be snug and warm and wouldn’t need to wear two vests, three jumpers and a blanket round his shoulders all the time when the colder days are upon us. In fact, if he wanted, (but we wouldn’t advise or encourage this for reasons of dignity and decorum) he could wander round the house willy nilly in his undergarments and socks all day and not feel a single chill!
