Burning waste on an open fire is not likely to destroy all the unpleasant chemical residues and will most likely create some that weren't there. The regulations for incinerators stipulate a temperature of 850°C (or 1100°C for halogenated organic substances).You might be able to get your fire up...

Wifey is on her second Zafira. I think of it as a Swiss Army Knife car. None of it's abilities are class leaders, but it is a Jack of all trades. Great to be able to take a couple of the kids friends along on a trip or offer lifts to the pub. And then again you can stuff furniture in the back...

You are truly an inspiration to us all Mr Fenna. Z

Excellent write-up. Thanks for taking the time to write this for us. Whereabouts in the country are you? Z

It's notoriously difficult to capture an entoptic phenomenon like this, but somehow, this morning the conditions were just right. Z

I managed to take a great photo of Haidinger's brush this morning. A fascinating phenomenon worth looking into. Z Edit: If you can't spot it straight away, try rotating your head from side to side.

This year I have a plan to try Japanese Knotweed. Apparently a bit like rhubarb. The trick is to find a patch you are sure hasn't been sprayed. Edit: I should add that you really shouldn't take it off site and anything you cut but don't eat needs to be burnt on your fire. Z

As others have said I struggle to get decent sized bits of birch bark, so I cant really help. But I would like to say thank you for introducing me to Onfim. Not many 7 year-olds have their artwork on display after 700 years! Z

Is this the animal you are after? https://www.radmoretucker.co.uk/shop/forestry-landscaping-equipment/forestry-tools/axes-hatchets/husqvarna-wooden-camping-axe/ (Sorry, after a closer look I think this the Hults Bruk made version. I get confused with all these swedish axe factories!) Z

One of the obvious differences with machine flailed hawthorn hedges at this time of the year is that they are completely devoid of blossom. Z

Wifey made this from the kids old fleece things. The backing is a hessian sack. I think it had only been finished for five minutes before the dog adopted it! It is full of memories. For instance, the greyish blue bits top left were from hoodies I bought for a pound each from Woolworths closing...

IF axe junkies can't help, try "TEAC - The European Axe Community" also on Facebook. Z

I thought Nic wasn't making axes anymore? Z
