Winter slowly creeps in as Autumn begins to say cheerio and I recall the old adage of "Form follows function". A normal everyday saying, in the Moore household. Well I should have applied it to the last wood heater instead of just going for a "look". Give me pretty any day. Whoops. So though the wood heater looked splendidly gothic, it was useless as a wood heater! The logs couldn't fit into a triangular shaped fire box for one thing. Plus the idea was that if all power/heating went off, then at least the wood heater would work and we could boil a kettle for hot drinks, hot water bottles, on the flat surface and heat up soup etc. Doesn't work on a gothic shaped surface.What was I thinking of. What were we thinking? A collective madness must have settled on both of us as we bought it together. So we splashed out and got a practical, well made rectangular one Here is a picture of our neighbour Pete, sledging the old one over to the blacksmiths cottage where it looks quite in place.
And now in its new home, in the blacksmiths cottage.
And the lovely rectangular one with the red sides, throwing off lots of heat, staying in all night and keeping the house cosy warm. Bliss
