We've had our wood burning stove completely installed now. It's fantastic. The flame picture on it is magnificent! For the last two nights we haven't had the telly on at all. We've just been watching the flames while curled up on the settee. Mind you, it chews through wood quite quickly! Just wanted to say, if anybody is considering getting one then I would recommend it.  A friend is someone who knows all about you but loves you anyway!

You're right Sophie! Our main reception room was the coldest in the house as it was in the north wing of the building. It's now the warmest and the heat spreads throughout the house. We've even turned the central heating right down. However, the main reason we went for it was just to make the lounge look more cosy! We put in a limestone mantel with slate hearth. It's great to turn the lights off and just sit there watching the fire! I bet you're all thinking " What a weirdo "! A friend is someone who knows all about you but loves you anyway!

There's NOTHING weird about cosiness, Stewart - it's what i aspire to most of all in life! We've got a multi fuel burner - love it  .....but not when i have to light it (which luckily is not very often...)

Mind you, your garden's not as big as mine!  Carol

Do you charge an entrance fee, Stewart - or can we just come and look round the place?!

That cosy look is not weird Stewart - I love it. We have been to Denmark a few times as Bro in Law is Danish. They have the log burning stoves everywhere and don't use electric light at night but loads of candles instead. It seemed so cosy and peaceful in their house I didn't want to leave.

Well how lovely Stewart you bringing me memories of childhood and so much ncier than just staring at a tv! we grew up with a fire in lounge so remember those cold winter days,we had no central heating only back boiler. wasnt log burner but so lovely. a man and lorry used to appear every 2 weeks with big bag coal light on his back and fill up the coal bunker. Remember the rush to window to watch him arrive. we so spent many times having good old laugh at only fools horses,aint half hot mum,step toe and son,allo allo etc infront of that lovely fire. blissful. enjoy. lv melly cuddly cats make my world seem so much more fun

We got that one because of the flame picture and because they give a 10 year guarantee! My house isn't that big. It's only 5 bedroom but it's sort of wide that's why I said North wing. ( But I do have 3 garages! ) Carol came down one weekend and I didn't charge her, neither did she offer me anything!!  A friend is someone who knows all about you but loves you anyway!

If anybody's around Surrey you're welcome to pop in as long as you wipe your feet and don't dribble on the toilet seat when you use the loo! A friend is someone who knows all about you but loves you anyway!
