I know they are not the cleanest form of heating, but there is something magical about the smell from one wafting over the rooftops. It is like stepping into a fantasy world.

We are surrounded by trees and a Sycamore was felled in November. The ground is a bit boggy and sometimes the older trees start to fail. I guess that one of the houses is using it as fuel.

I was on my way to the shop and the smell was just so gorgeous.

We have two - one free-standing, called a salamander and the other is inset. The salamander has a pipe which goes up into the roof, so the pipe also warms up nicely too ;)

We burn oak and olive wood and as it's the only form of heating we have (apart from the sun) we're quite used to it.

Yes, it can be a bit dusty and yes, it's a pain to get wood when it's chucking it down outside, but we need the warmth ;) ;)

I would (no pun intended) like one, but always have a nagging thought that they might be banned eventually. There is something really nice about seeing the flames and feeling the warmth from them.

There is Cromwell :D :D

We lit the salamander last night, which is the other side of the room. And whilst it was warm, I kept on looking at the one in the fire-place :lol: :lol: So we'll be lighting that one tonight ;)
