A Real Fire

Nothing beats a real fire in the grate; a flickering red glow in the room, crackling logs, sparks spitting out, cats diving for cover, the sweet scent of wood smoke, the acrid smell of singed rug.


This is the alternative - it provides none of the above but is probably better than looking at a sooty black hole.

Harry Corbett looked at Sooty's black hole for years.

Well now I know what to do with all my tangled up Christmas lights. Even the big red chili pepper ones that are so incredibly kitsch but just begged me to buy them.

Don't know either Mr. Corbett or Sooty, unfortunately, but they sound like an interesting couple.

Sooty was a glove puppet and Harry Corbett provided the hand - I'll say no more!
