Fortunately, thanks to your firelighting tips, and in no small part to the efforts of the other half with an axe, chopping wood, we now have a blazing fire. And, if I lean forward and concentrate very hard, I can almost feel some warmth coming off it…

    These are amazing shots! I love the dove-like outline in the ice (first pic) and the gorgeous moody colours of the last shot.

    Gorgeous pictures, log fire – winter has its compensations.

    Why thank you. Actually, I’d prefer to be taking photos of roses and blazing sunshine, but that’s what we’ve got…

    I won’t regale you with tales of the current warm temperatures we are enjoying…that wouldn’t be nice. But all good things must come to an end, on Sunday I head back to Ohio where they are predicting some form of frozen precipitation…YUCK!

    Well done on getting it lit!

    I’ll gladly swap your fire problems for our gas-on-a-metre-which-has-now-run-out-so-woke-up-this-morning-without-any-heating problems…

    Aaron – yep, we had some of that frozen preciptation in the night…
    Jo – oh no … I once had a meter like that, it took 50ps, my life became dominated by getting enough of the right sort of change. Hope you get it sorted soon

    Beautiful photos. It’s almost worth freezing your bits off if you have a sky like that to look at.

  8. disgruntled Says:

    Yes. Almost
