Somewhere to hang my stocking

When I first moved into this house, nearly sixteen years ago, there was a truly hideous gas fire with a huge brick fireplace in the sitting room.  It came out the first day I had possession!

I then bought a neat little electric fire with glowing pebbles to imitate flames.  That was nice but eventually it died and for the last few years I have had no fireplace or fire at all in my sitting room, just relying on the central heating.

I really missed having a fire, especially at Christmas as there was nowhere to hang a stocking!  So, I've been looking various suppliers and last week I treated myself.  

I feel it is a good addition to my hibernaculum  which will become more howffy.

(Hibernaculum and howffy are both described in this post)

  1. It looks like a very nice addition to your hibernaculum and not only will you be howffy, you'll have a place from which to hang your stocking! I can already see that the wise old men will want to make a stop nearby to warm themselves, come winter, when they start wandering looking for a star! :D
