Fire

One of the advantages of having a huge fireplace is that you don't have to worry too much about chopping up logs. This one kept us going for half a day. A disadvantage is that most of the heat disappears straight up the chimney.
We started attacking a new terrce today before Tricia took tiime off to play Scrabble wiith her local group. I had to stop myself as clearly it wouldn't have been safe to be using secateurs on my own.....
