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)
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
ReplyDeleteThey've already sent spies!
DeleteLovely fire is it electric. Heather
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm not allowed a gas fire. (Landlord's regulations)
DeleteThat's exactly what I want to replace our pretty but defunct gas fire in our house! We've got a chimney, but naked flames are a no-no these days so electric is what would be best.
ReplyDeleteAm sending off for the book!
I got it on-line from Fireplace World and it was delivered next day by Royal Mail so excellent service. It had to be assembled but Annie-the-home-enhancer volunteered her husband.
DeleteAnd I got the book on Kindle.
DeleteWe have an electric log burner for the same reason, we only ever set the lights/ flickering, it does make it look much butter on dark evenings.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping so.
DeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteAmazing what can be delivered by Royal Mail.....nearest thing to Santa Claus!!
Your new fire looks very warm and welcoming. Your hibernaculum must be an extremely cosy lair .... all ready for Santa Claus [or Royal mail] to fill the stocking hanging on the lovely fireplace.
