A DINNER FIRING

I have a few quiet minutes while Ayana is happily playing by herself in the lounge so thought I would share some photos from a little tradition we have going on. Through out the year Elena fires up her wood kiln which means she spends a whole day and good part of the evening throwing wood into the fire every few minutes to get it up to temperature.  On those evenings we go and out to grab takeaway burgers, and huddle around the blazing kiln to keep her company.  It's usually raining and the dogs are hanging around our feet desperate for any drop of aioli that might fall, but I still look forward to these nights with great anticipation!
