Before setting out for my walk this morning I kicked the fire back into life. It was a very welcome sight when I got back home. Because the chimney runs up the middle of our house the whole house gets lovely and warms as it gradually warms up the brickwork and acts like a radiator. It's lovely having a proper whistling kettle for the wood burner and I'm having a nice cup of tea before I start on some housework. This time next week I will be using the Christmas teapot and cups. What are you up to today?
Lovely teaset & your fire looks good though we don't need ours at the moment. Today I washed, did a blogpost, finished painting the bench, gocery shopped, made tea, rang my little brother & am now sitting in front of the TV sewing labels & watching Lewis. Take care, stay safe & huggles.
ReplyDeleteIt's turned really cold here though it isn't raining yet... It is forecast
DeleteI'm having tea and applesauce cake for breakfast. It is warming up to the 60's here today so kayaking is on our schedule. You have a very pretty tea set. Andrea
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea. I love pretty china
DeleteThat does look welcoming. Great frugal idea to use the stove to heat your water. One day I will have a stove.
ReplyDeleteIt's great for warming tinned soup or beans too. I made a rice pudding on top many years ago.
DeleteThat looks and sounds so homey and comfortable. Lovely.
