First fire!

First fire!

With the assistance of a seasoned fire-starter, I lit the living room fire the other night. There were a few dribs and drabs of coal in the coal scuttle, some kindling and a few of those pressed wood briquette jobs. And it took quite the thing!

It was all so heart-warming that we had to open another bottle of rosé. Then just sat watching the flames till they went out.
