Just walked back home and noticed the faint whiff of woodsmoke on the night air - so someone is feeling the autumnal chill…
My Gran never lit the fires until 1st October, but I may not be able to last until then.
Need to get the chimney swept… sooner rather than later…
and equally importantly, I need to find where I hid my sweaters and warm stuff when I “tidied” my wardrobe…
I lit our wood burner for the first time this autumn tonight, it’s been going down to 2 °C overnight , meant to be getting warmer though over the next few days
