First Fire of the Season


The chimney was swept yesterday, and I noticed the rod operating the flap underneath was the wrong way round. Managed to fix that today and the chimney now draws as it should again.

With the fire going nicely we sat down before it with tea, enjoying the sight and the warmth once it was hot enough.

I'd found the same biscuits that my Mum used to serve with tea when we came home from school in Holland - coconut-based Nizza by Verkade - which are excellent to dunk in one's tea and provided quite a taste of nostalgia.
