The Useful Kind
KindaSquare is the theme this month as Becky is hoping we might, in the final squares of 2020, encourage and promote kindness. A year I don’t think any of us will forget in a hurry. If you would like to join in then visit the link.
Cornwall in Colours 
Yours? Looks cosy 🙂 🙂
Yes. And yes 😊
That looks a lot like the 5 kw wood burner we have in our living room. I haven’t fired it up yet, this year.
Best wishes, Pete. x
You haven’t? Crikey, I have had mine on several evenings during the past couple of weeks. Not every night. Once I switch on the central evening though it is usually warm enough not to use it, and I do like to see the fire.
It has to be very cold to use ours, as the heat it chucks out is wonderful. I can’t use it with any other heating, as it’s too much.
Best wishes, Pete. x
Nice gritty effect with that editing process 🙂
Thanks Liz, I am having fun playing around with the different effects.
Great editing
That lovely coloured pencil filter on the phone. I tried out a few, but this was my favourite.
OK, I wouldn’t know as I don’t have a clever phone
Well this was chosen specifically for the camera. There is a lot I haven’t used yet. Maybe this winter will be a chance to experiment as I won’t be gardening.
😊😊
ooh love your filter – isn’t this fabulous. Stay warm and cosy xxxx
Been a blessing lately with the colder evenings.
🙂
Cute and I thought the heating systems in the UK and Europe in general were far superior than ours downunder.
Not as good as the Scandinavians though.
Haven’t tried theirs out so I will have to take your word for it 🙂
Wow!
Oh, the Wonderful Wood Burning Stove. Has yours had an airing this season? Ours has – just once so far.
Several times over the last couple of weeks! I love having a fire, but once the heating goes on it’s usually warm enough, so now is the best time to use it.
Ah. We have a somewhat underheated house, so it’s our best friend.
We have underfloor heating downstairs and once it’s on it stays on until April and it’s nice and toasty. But we have to use oil and that is expensive. Mindst you, buying kiln dried wood is not cheap.
It isn’t. But I forage quite a lot too. Coming back from a walk without at the very least a spot of kindling is forbidden.
Not that many trees around here. And doesn’t it need to dry out? 🙄
Of course. We pop the wood in the shed for a year or two, and bring out the stuff we recycled earlier. I’m an incorrigible forager. It’s sloes and mushrooms at the moment.
Sloes have been wonderful around here this year. I did think of picking some but I don’t like sloe gin 😁
A few in an apple crumble or whatever introduces a nice characterful note. Worth a punt!
What a lovely, cosy thing. 🙂
I love a real fire, even cleaning it out doesn’t bother me, but I had plenty of training as a child 😉
Nice picture. A wood burner- nothing fancy but cute and handy to keep the cold out.
