A beautiful, heart warming picture you have painted for us Tom, almost a fairy tale image - really love it! I'm happy to think that even the poor can make a log fire, so long as they have shelter of course from the snow! Best wishes, Jennifer

Finally, managed to add the fire video from utube. Making me sleepy looking at it lol. Well, wine is chilling come and join me, when I was younger I used to go to Ireland and back then they all had these open turf and log fires going and I used to just sit there soaking up the heat, radiators are not the same for sure.
