Empty Fireplace

After the last two days out and about it was a stay-at-home day today. Apart from coffee with a group of friends this morning and a supermarket shop this afternoon.  While I was out the gas man came to call. We have an annual service for the boiler and gas fire. When it came to the gas fire it was found that there was an old bird's nest in the chimney. So the whole fire had to come out and we have to get the chimney swept before it can be connected again.
