The Fascination Of Fire

Here are those same two boys, a little later on Christmas Day.

Toasting marshmallows in our newly-acquired clay chiminea.

If you look carefully, you can just about pick out their outlines.

This was one of Susanna's ways of adding a touch of magic.

Quite hard to do when you're celebrating Christmas in summer.

But firelight after dark was a big hit. Especially with our boys.

Who would have happily stayed up all night. Burning things.

And making themselves sick with sweet & sticky marshmallows.

The simple pleasures, eh?
