After experimenting with different kinds of kindling on our fire over winter, we realised that there wasn't much point chopping up the fallen branches from the coral tree and the cherry trees that James pulled down. They didn't burn well enough to make it worthwhile bringing them indoors - far better to burn them outside and let J have the pleasure of building a bonfire.
Unfortunately I'd been reading about the dangers of fires on lifestyle blocks so I insisted on J building it up gradually but I think he still had fun. He's eyeing up another pile of fallen branches on the other side of the paddock for his next fire but it'll have to stop raining before he can light it.
