Winter

It's getting cold here, the central heating is now on much of the time. The trouble with central heating is that there's no focal point, no roaring fire to sit around. Images of Hollywood films with families gathered around the blazing logs fly around my head but when I think back to the days when we had a real fire it was always small with no real heat unless you sat right next to it and then it was too hot. It always seemed to be a real chore to light it, something my mother always ended up doing. Anyway, before I end up as if I was a character in the Broons I'd better shut up. Today's musical delights are courtesy of the Incredible String Band. I recently received a great set of old radio and live shows which are really good. Hadn't listened to this band in a long time and had forgotten how good they were.
