Uh humm, are they *your* large woods? If so then by all means take the
wood, if not then you're stealing.

They have days during the year they allow locals to collect fallen
wood, keeps their woods clear for free i suppose, goes back many

that own the estate date back and are related to Prince Llewelyn the
