Feel the warmth

Lots of garden branches and clippings were too big for the recycle collection and as it was not too long  since Guy Fawkes Night we didn't feel too bad for having a burn up. It was a cold evening but the heat from the fire plus the activity of keeping it topped up with wood kept us warm and toasty.
We drew in close and Dante enjoyed every minute, dashing around the garden, sniffing here and stealing the odd branch there.  We had hot dogs, chicken, mugs of tea and glasses of damson gin.
Once indoors again the scent of woodsmoke lingered on our clothes and we felt tired but pleased with a job well done.
