It’s bonfire night part two tonight, so our own contribution is being readied.

the first fires of winter, and the Jenga tower is being prepared for ignition.  Our wood supplier is across the border so the logs are kiln dried (by law).  The bed is too clean, it needs a good layer of ash to draw properly which will take an evening or two, but we’re off to a roaring start, to warm the drawers by.
