coal delivery just mentioned, how I wish we still had a coal fire, I know the mess etc but it was so nice to come home to as a kid.At night my mum used to take a shovel full of burning coal upstairs to the bedroom little fireplace,the upstairs was always freezing cold. looking back its a wonder she did not set fire to the whole house on route, I wonder what 'ealth & safety would have made of that ? there was the odd burn in the stair carpet though and a singe smell to go with.
Morning all.
To those of you going to Birmingham, have a fab time and please report back on how it went.
I hope everyone else has a great weekend too xx
Morning all.Here we've had two consecutive mornings without rain.. Amazing! And today not as cold as was forecast. Open fires ~ we have two, but we only use them at Christmas.
