Fire place tested!

Last night we lit up a fire in the fire place for the first time since we moved here in late July.
Found out there's no damper in the chimney to shut when the fire place is not in use, or forget to open when starting new fire... ;-) That's a bit odd to me. But maybe that is the standard here, not to have one.
Anyway, the fire went extremely well. We had an old bamboo wind chime that the previous owners had left here. That made excellent piece of firewood. I do not like wind chimes, why would you add more noise to your garden and annoy all the neighbours too? So burning it gave me great satisfaction.
