If you want to use your open fire in Belgium, you have to have the chimney cleaned once a year by an official chimney sweeper who gives you then a certificate that the chimney is clean. Otherwise in case of fire the fire insurance wouldn't pay.
I don't know why I only thought about our open fire in March, had it cleaned
and now we enjoy it again, i.e I enjoy it, Mr. G has his eyes glued on the TV screen !
It looks so cozy. Mr. G and I would be great buddies with the TV LOL

ReplyDeleteI used a fireplace for the first time of my life when I was in Melbourne in year 2000 winter.
It was such an unforgettable experience as I come from a country where there is only one season - Summer all year round!
The fire looks so warm and cozy, Gattina! Cute post. I'm sure Mr. G glances over at the fire during the commercials...no? ;)

Do all men have their eyes glued to the TV screen? LOL I love your fire.
ReplyDeleteI love an open fire...but it's not cold enough here for them, even in winter. Fires throw out so much heat, my small place would be like hothouse.
ReplyDeleteBut the smell of pine cones burning and also the eucalyptus wood...deliciously fragrant.
