Dark nights but cosy ones

I love cleaning brass mind you i haven't done it for a while. I used to find it very theraputic.That fire looks so inviting is it real?

The only brass I clean is the letter box so no help from me. Lovely blaze though

I like cleaning brass too, but not so sure now. After retirement we had an Antiques and bric-a-brac shop for some years, and I used to be cleaning brass and copper day in and day out almost, but always enjoyed it. This included huge old coppers taken out of brick-built boilers. They were popular for storing logs.
I don't think I'll volunteer just now Donnah. I would like to get at those tiles with paint stripper though! The fire looks lovely and inviting especially hearing the wind and rain lashing outside just now.
I'm just trying to connect cooking a meal with ROMANCE though. Maybe I'm too old.

you could always paint the tiles donnah. Bt i agree why do housework when you can garden and when you can toast your toes in front of the fire.

One of the best things about winter is coming in from the cold to an open fire and snuggling up

Perhaps the fireplace is a bit too blue, but the fire looks very welcoming.

A real fire now your talking, I just love them no matter how much trouble they are to clean out etc, gas is not the same.
Sorry no dont do brass, enjoy your romantic meal.

Why worry about the colour of a fire when you can have romance? You don't know how lucky you are.

yes the fire is very real.give you all a shout about 8 in the morning when it is being cleaned out

Love a real fire something so cosy and snug about it, especially when the wind is howling outsideI really miss leaving a 1750 cottage for a 1970s bungalow, as for the brass we still have lots but thank goodness my husband cleans that every wek, I can't stand the smell of Dura Glit!

I'll help you to clean the brass :o) I enjoy doing it. I have lots of brass things from my grandmother's house. I always cleaned it for my mother and now I have it myself.
I'm not keen on the colour of your grate either lol. But the real fire looks cosy. It brings back lots of memories too.

Oh wow that looks enviting :o)))

im not a blue person either donnah, but nice having a lovely blazing fire to sit in front off, and i dont clean brass either, use to have lots but soon got rid of it lol

I've just found this Donnah. Blazing fire, nice meal, romance ....sounds wonderful !! Who cares what colour the fire is .... did it work ?? lol ;~))
