Finally the cooler weather has arrived and we are loving it. We have cool nights and beautiful sunny days when we can get lots done in the garden. Today the temperature range was between 3 and 23C although thanks to insulation we don't drop much below around 16C inside the house. It also means that we can enjoy our slow combustion heater at night and be really cosy. On Friday evening when it was wet and cold we sat in front of the fire enjoing a good bottle of wine while a pot of Minestrone bubbled on the stove and our dog Bella slept at our feet. We felt like millionaires. Even better the timber is from our block and was felled by a storm last year.

I'm surprised that it get's that cool where you live at night...3 degree's is chilly! (but the 23 degree's during the day, redeems it!) Fire's are so nice and cozy...we love our's too, but it's gas...the flick of a switch and all. It's a shame too because we have so much wood from trees that have fallen and only our outdoor campfire to burn it in.
Bella is such a great name for a dog...how about a picture of her?
I love slow combustion fires, they are so very cosy and rustic, as is the wine and minestrone! You have inspired me to make a pot of soup, I haven't yet this winter. Mmmm must be hungry!
