Thank you it is good, it was actually tricky to hold up, point, focus and snap, many pics taken before I got the two I could keep. http://giventodistractingothers.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/a-chimney-sweeps-tale.html
I'm so thick I didn't realise it was you having your chinmey swept - Thank goodness for all the comments from those more on the ball! We had ours done years ago as we have an open fireplace but as we live in a building with other apartments above I have never dared light it in case the smoke seeps into their homes!
gosh.how did you get that photo!
ReplyDeleteGood zoom, I was across the road from the house as well!
DeleteGetting the chimney ready for cold winter evenings?
ReplyDeleteNo just clearing as getting Granny her new room ready and it really needed doing.
DeleteThat's a great zoom you've got there, I thought maybe you were on the roof!

DeleteThat is something I haven't seen for ages.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen it, I was stupidly excited.
DeleteGlad it's sorted now (even if you did get a bit ripped off).
ReplyDeleteThanks Erica, it tainted the process a little. But while it was happening it was brilliant!
DeleteChim-chimney!
