I’ve had a fear of fire since I was very tiny, we had a chimney fire that caught the roof beams alight, and I can still remember the sounds and the smells, and it terrifies me to this day.

Thank goodness times have changed.<br />Thanks for calling in I’m glad you enjoyed the pictures.<br />Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962552429792516213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4496559191887463909.post-50091046577287514702013-07-12T14:50:16.673+01:002013-07-12T14:50:16.673+01:00I loved this post.
