Here, we cut the dead trees and use them. The city cut down a huge old tree in front of the house that was nearly dead. We kept the wood.

If it smells like the orange blossom in April it must be divine.

It's getting colder though and we have ordered our first lot of logs.<br />I too like Laurie Lee. I think I've read all his books, some several times, though many years ago. I shall search out one to dip into. local alienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586011850451326646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577767911269302322.post-50942567323573254322021-10-25T11:51:52.044-06:002021-10-25T11:51:52.044-06:00We get little dust from the stove JayCee.

It's a beautiful film about an amazing writer and illustrator. Agree with you about government over reach.

I am lucky too, because my house has a fireplace. In the city where I live in California you can no longer build a house with a fireplace. Instead people have gas or electic "fires", or pellet only stoves. So I do enjoy my fireplace. I don't like government over reach, of banning things. I agree, Laurie Lee is a national treasure.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.com
