Home is where the hearth is.

The Sunday Challenge: FLAMES.

There's nothing quite so comforting as an open fire is there? One can sit and watch the ever changing pattern of the flames, make toast, smell the wood smoke and generally sit in glowing comfort. Of course there are downsides. Clearing out the ash, bringing in more coal and logs and resetting the fire. Is it all worth it? We also have a pretend coal, enclosed gas fire in the study (see the blue flames on the pic below). Quick and easy, no mess, no fuss, no bother. Which would you choose?

The flame patterns are more entertaining than TV !! although I don't use mine much another plus is being independent if there is a power cut or the boiler fails light the fire

Wir bevorzugen das Gockeln im Freien, auch wenn das Anzünden oft Mühe macht und man wie geräucherter Schinken riecht… Schöne Bilderserie.
