Back at the beginning of August, Mansfield froze through the first of the 3 super dooper freezing cold snaps we experienced this winter! The surrounding mountains were blessed with a dumping of snow and blizzard type conditions and fabulous skiing/snowboarding conditions! YAY!
Not so yay, is living in a draughty, old and super dooper cold house! I finally succumbed to the numbness in my hands and we lit our first fire in our home!
It . Was . AMAZING!
Max and I are hoping to put a fireplace insert into the old brick chimney, before next winter, to assist with the heat retention, functionality and overall performance of the fireplace. But for now, it is fabulous to sit down with a glass of red and be mesmerised by the flames . . .
