Fire lighting fun

Suffering from a cold is no fun when the sun shines but having an impromptu play with friends and getting the children to light a fire to make us a nice warm hot chocolate certainly helped me today. Although the first fire went out due to the children's exuberance with the trampoline we all ended the afternoon with a steaming warm chocolate. Note to self: as well as keeping your fire striker handy in your pocket make sure you bring along a pack of marshmallows, just for those emergencies!
