Finally had the chimney swept after the hammering it took last year. Couldn’t book the chimney sweep until Friday last week, by which time all the snow had gone. But saying that, the warmest it reached over the weekend was 2.5deg.
It was minus –8deg on the outside thermometer when I woke this morning, so I quickly got the fire going. Crumpet, marshmellows and a few chestnuts tonight for supper methinks.
