Who's bringing the chestnuts ??

Lovely!

This is great Terry60. What I wouldn't give for a feature like this.

Thankyou both.

Oh! From the other photos I thought it was low down, not in a niche in the wall!

Ah that was a briiliant idea of my hubby - to help me with my iffy back, so that I didn't have to keep bending down to fiddle with the embers - and it's also useful for making bruschetta and bbqing ...

VERY good idea! Not forgetting the sweet chestnuts... :-)

"Chestnuts roasting on an open fire,
Jack Frost nipping at your nose!
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folk dressed up like Eskimos.

Everybody knows...
some turkey and some mistletoe
will help to make the season bright
tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
will find it hard to sleep
tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys and goodies
on his sleigh...
And every mother's child is going to spy
to see if reindeer really know how to fly..

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
to kids from one to ninety-two
Though it's been said...
many times...
many ways...
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you!

My very favourite Christmas song...simply entitled "the Christmas Song" was written by Mel Torme. probably ASCAP...

Looks very cosy.

MMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm An Open Fire/Oven :)
