First Fire

Having been down to Natal for the long weekend we returned on Tuesday afternoon to a rather chilly Joburg. Chris was most delighted as this meant we could FINALLY try out our "new brand" wood fire place. No sooner had we settled down to a late lunch with Graham, who we gave a lift from Hilton to Joburg to catch his flight to visit the Smeetons in Bloomington, and Chris was itching to try his hand in pyromania and get the fire lit. Graham & I insisted on finishing lunch and having our walk before Chris got to the fire. While Graham freshened up after the walk, my boy scout got going and made us a beautiful cozy fire. We then had to drop Graham at the airport and by the time we got back our home was rather snug. We have also had the underfloor heating going and I must say "What a win!!!" I think I can safely say we'll survive the Highveld winter.
