At long last we've had some very sunny days over the last week or two. As a result the solar panel attached to the outside light has seen plenty of sunlight and not the dull January cloudiness that plagued it during the first few weeks of the year. So, the outside light is working fine with plenty of power supplied to the batteries. Okay, so it's only one LED outside light that we've hooked up to the power of the sun but it's a start!
Meanwhile, we've just boosted next years log pile by felling the old apple tree. It only took a couple of hours to remove the branches at the top and then fell the trunk with the aid of a chainsaw. Whilst it's a shame to lose the tree, it was rotten through the middle of the trunk and the apples are not the greatest. Plus it's in the way of the house extension. The wood will come in useful, mostly for the woodburner, but I'd also like to use some of it more creatively...not sure how yet but give me time!
