Now that autumn is here I've started dreaming of winter, my very favourite time of the year! I just love to sit by a crackling fire on a cold night - it's my idea of heaven..
We had a lot of trouble with our fireplace when we first moved into the house. Our house is on a hill in a high wind area and sometimes (not always) the wind comes down the chimney and fills the room with smoke - this isn't great when you have a large group of friends for dinner! After many changes, including converting to gas and back again, the fire now works and we've got a wonderful open fire. Hopefully winter will be cold this year here in the Highlands and it will get a lot of use.

Yes, life with an open fire never runs smooth Leigh! In Winter MOTH spends more time & energy collecting, chopping, lugging, setting, cleaning, poking, huffing & cussing for our fire more than anything else. You've chosen such evokative images, the fffounnd one of the kitchen is just gorgeous.
