Wood Chopping By the Book

Leo came this evening to give the men's various details for the new work regime under health and safety regulations. It was a surprise. Concern that the willingness to work on the woods might dissipate with any increase in paperwork, had been expressed by him as well as felt by us.

But either rational acceptance of insurance provisions and safety information at work, or the recession, or a mixture of both, have prevailed. After Christmas they'll be cleaning the woods and cutting this year's allowance.

I cling to the hope that I won't be expected to say anything to them about how to wield a chainsaw.
