Stocking up the wood store

We're getting ready for the Pizza oven and BBQ season at the Old Post Office. We're hosting a meeting of the Belper BBQ/Pizza group, so we can't afford to be low on good dry hardwood for the oven.



So it is off to Holly Grange Farm near Crich/Lea to our hardwood log supplier at http://www.hardwoodlogsltd.co.uk/ to buy half a dozen bags of kiln dried Ash logs. (£5 each).

There'll soon be some crisp delicious pizza at No 127 Bridge Street.

From our "shop" window
