Yes agree with you here. We haven't got one now but we do remember that "certain cosiness" (sp) when it's very hard to draw yourself away.

And how our dogs loved them: we had one black mongrel who would stand right in front of the fire until we had to drag him away as his coat would "steam and singe", Great dog, great fire and great times.

I know they can be a pain to clean the morning after, but there is a certain pride that comes with making it all work.

I suppose there may just be some primeval thing about fire.

At least that's what I told the judge last time.;)

We have an elderly multifuel stove which heats the radiators. It's dusty, temperamental, full of strange quirks but it's doing a grand job just now. Mixing logs and coal gives the best mix of fuel.

The Bruce would like to live in altnaharra he said last week but then the winter clothes for the Bruce means putting on a rugby shirt. I said I would happily live there but I have to have oil/ gas central heating, a Rayburn/ aga thing in the kitchen and a fire in the living room plus triple glazing.
