Dear friends,

Last week we had a small fire to dry the chimney before sweeping it.
We hardly ever light a fire these days because we are all too aware that as a means of heating it’s very inefficient: 80% goes out through the flue to heat the great outdoors. Also wood fires have emissions that are not very environmentally friendly and we do have after all a most wonderful heatpump system. This time of year though, when we know the days are lengthening but we don’t quite see it yet, we indulge ourselves once or twice and enjoy a real fire in the grate.

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that you can soon experience the longer days of spring.
God bless,

Dineke van den Bogerd
