Isn't it strange how

Gonna be 32 here on Sunday!

We've been lighting the wood burner in the evenings even though the living room temp is around 20.5C at the moment. That's a nice temperature during the day but I like to be warm and snuggy in the evening!

Solid-fuel Rayburn with DHW and CH for me!

But we're lucky enough to have the original Victorian range at the other end of the house. Mulled cider, roast chestnuts, and a vast expanse of hot iron with a nicely crackling fire. Bliss! And then the boys come hurtling in...

I'm beside myself with envy here. I really am. I love my house, and I love where we live, but I would rip my kitchen out in a heartbeat and get something like that in. My DH thinks I'm bonkers.

Here you go then...



Don't blame the red walls on us. The previous owners' tastes were a little unusual - the dining room was worse with orange walls and a red ceiling!

[Boots]

That's a very relaxing wall.

Here you go then...

You sure know how to ruin a girl's evening.

I shall just look at my view to console myself. And yes, I know, you have a great view too, but let me have my consolations, eh?
