Oh - you've got your fire going - where's Nigel - I'll ask him AGAIN for a wood-burner! I've heard that The Help is very good - I see you've gone low tech for this book...

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg Yes not using the kindle for this unfortunately, the book belongs to my daughter !! I must say it is nice to hold a book in my hands again but not so good tonight when I want to read late !!

[Judith Greenwood]

I imagine a Kindle is very good for reading in the night without waking your other half up - I could do with one when we go to America - good for jetlag...

[Semoor]

That fire looks very inviting. Enjoy the book!

Lovely and cosy, time to chill out with your book. I love the log fire/burner.

[Phil Howcroft]

nice one Pat, judging by the size of the fire looks like you might be burning the kindle..ing mentioned by judith @judithg :)

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg Exactly Judith that is it's main advantage for me !!!

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft good pun Phil !!!

@mgozzard @semoor @decani The best thing about winter is the log burner !!!

Love a fire and soo miss my wood heater. When we moved 12 years ago I had to leave it behind. Even though it only ever gets down to 8 deg. c here I still miss the fire. The dog looks like it has the best spot.

[Rick Schies]

That is the perfect setting, and the fire, well I think that would put me to sleep.

[Diana Moss]

I missed seeing this picture until now, seeing you looking so relaxed in your lovely room , and of course the pets always get the best spot in front of the fire

That looks cosy and relaxing Pat - Is your fire fuel or gas? Looks sooooo lovely.

@murnane It's a wood burning stove Marg. Very popular over here & it burns wood. The whole thing heats up like a big radiator whereas in an open fire most of the heat tends to go up the chimney !! I love it !!!
