Sunday afternoon at the Moerks

It was a drizzly grey old day here yesterday.

So we decided to light the fire pit.

There was a lot of sitting around. Please excuse the old painting/gardening clothes.

Please notice THE BOOTS

I put some sheepskin inner soles in them and they were as warm as toast.

See Lulu's feet and face.

She needed a bath afterwards.

There was a lot of poking and prodding of the fire until some genius  suggested these were in order.

Mr M quickly twisted up some wire forks.

Perfect.

Marshmallows and tea in the backyard, in the drizzle, a lovely way to end the school holidays.

Firepit - April weather is getting chilly.

Now that the nights are getting chillier and the nights drawing in earlier it's time to light the little fire pit.

Our family loves to poke around the flames. Part of the attraction is just all of us being together.

We have been wondering what to do with ours, very similar to this one but made of stainless steel instead of the tiles. I kind of like how this one is sunk into the decking. At this we don't have any decking. But, we do have plenty of lovely red brick paving. I'll think on it for a bit and see what we can come up with.
