No bovver yule fire

Loads of visitors have been in and out of our tiny lounge bringing gifts and Christmas hugs. Of course the central heating is still playing up - but we've found the cause! We have gunge in our pipes! Nasty black yuccie gunge. So the whole problem has to be put off till after the celebration season.

In our lounge, we now have a little greenhouse heater going. It works a treat! It turns itself off and on according to the temperature of the room. No bovver.

But the best thing is the cosy fire!  The fire crackles and spats on our television screen! And it really feels good.  Our visitors have been delighted.
