We have the wood stacked and ready for the chilly nights ahead. Our fire is the only heating we have but I love the cosy atmosphere it creates. Only a pain in the butt when you have been out late and come back to a chilly house, oh and of course there was that one time when I put the hot ashes into the plastic compost bin and an hour later it caught fire! Lesson learnt - hot ashes & plastic bin = oopsy :-)
