Last night was very cold, tonight will be even colder but the open fire in the main house lounge is keeping us really warm. We had a delivery of logs the other weekend, 4 cubes of 2 year aged oak which is burning really well. It took 3 of us about an hour to move the logs off the front drive and into dry storage in the main barn, needless to say our backs the next morning were a little on the stiff side but all the work was well worth it.
Another find that you may just be able to make out behind the flames of the fire, is an old iron plate measuring about 21" square with a coat of arms on it, not sure how much it weighs but it'll take 2 people to move it. Another bit of investigative work to be undertaken in the future!!
Beautiful pictures you have put on. Be interesting to know where your iron plate comes from. Your house is turning out to be a right treasure trove xxx
