Last week we spent two nights in Belfast. Robert had some work to do at a house on the Ormeau Road so we decided to go up and stay for a short break. We stayed in the Days Hotel just off Great Victoria St. There was a lovely festive atmosphere around the City Hall with the continental market there.
Robert was also getting some wood sorted out - we spent a while cutting up old boards etc. and then went up to Fivemiletown and brought home a load of burned roof timbers from there. Heidi likes to be in the middle of the action. Actually an apple tree fell over in the garden a couple of weeks ago. There was no storm but it looks as if the root system was rotting and it simply fell.I couldn't believe it when Barry came over to tell us. I accused him of swinging on it!
We have our stove lit every evening and as it is closed in we can burn any sort of wood and no worries about sparks coming out. It gives very good heat.
I have my baby tree in the washroom window and the big tree in the sun room.
The weather was a little more festive yesterday as we had a little sprinkling of snow - just enough to whiten the ground. There are heavy falls of snow in south-east England and, of course, traffic is at a standstill.Kyra is very happy at the possibility of more snow!

I heard that you might have some snow. If only it would stay around for a while. So does the pre-burned wood burn pretty well?
Yes it burns really well second time around.
Forecast gives snow for N.I. tomorrow.
