Dry! Or whut!

Borough in this morning from the wood shed, since being miserably cold here I lit the fire.

I put this Hawthorn  stick on the  dying embers of the fire when we can home late afternoon, the Sun then came out, and thrifty Scots-Irish that I am, I removed it from the fire after a couple of hours, it was barely touched or alight so I left it below the stove. Some time later, prompted by Senior Management, who noted it was "stouching" up the living room I took it outside, again just barely smouldering.

I "assumed" it would go out in the cool of the night(after 20:00 )

And forgot about it for an hour or so.

Wow!

The bit of wind outside was sufficient to kindle it!

Love Hawthorn and the kinda blueish flame it gives .

I love the smell! Even in the living room and kitchen. It helped mask the burnt pizza!

Glad I’m not the only one who’s had to light the fire in June.

I could/should have lit one here in SW France tonight.

We could/should have lit the fire last night. Ridiculous for June.

Got the burner going tonight, 13 degrees outside and been raining on and off all day....ah...British summertime!

[difflock]

We are due the possibility of ground frost here in NI tonight, since the forecast says it is to drop to 4 deg!

FFS!

It was 3C at 06:00 today and similar temperatures are expected tonight. Even with some sun today, it was pretty cold in the house when I got in earlier.
