Bee!

Couple of days behind in uploads.

Early in the year, I got rid of our chimney pillows, they were getting old and not holding their air very well (they're basically an inflatable bag that blocks up a drafty chimney when the fire isn't in use).  I have replaced them with Chimney Sheep, made in the Lake District, they're wads of wool that you push in to place and then pull down on the handle for a tight fit.  Treated to stop the moths moving in.

Because it's important to not accidentally light a fire with the sheep still in place, they sell various "charms" to hang from the handle.  I chose some rather cute felted bees.  This one keeps me company in my remote office.
