Posted a big batch of Covid tests first thing this morning, the cold and the rain outside mean that afterwards all we wanted to do was swaddle up indoors. But not before buying some firewood for our woodburner - the little piece of our house we've yet to test out. A chimney sweep visited earlier in the week to check our wood burner and remove any gubbins sitting inside the chimney. He wrote us out a certificate giving us the all clear and this evening we decided to indulge in a warming fire. Had a few false starts lighting it as we decided to use up some of the old, musty kindling first, but once it got going it was delightful - just the ticket during the dead of Autumn.
It was some point in the evening when the heat tickled my toes and I could see the light of the flickering flames dancing on the walls when I realised this house has become a home.
