Woodburner in action

At last! Second fire of the season as it feels even colder than last night, although that may be because I have been perched on the scaffolding painting window frames since mid-day.

As the woodburner is my only source of heat in the house (other than my Everhot cooker, which is now back in operation having had its little transformer replaced), I have to look after it or go cold. For all the hassle, I love the mesmerising quality of the fire. Beats a TV (which I don't have!).
