Whumpf

I used to live on the top floor of an old Victorian house. In the flat on the floor below me there was a cat named Perkins. When his folks decided to open up their fireplace and start burning solid fuel again, Perkins found the tunnel this uncovered to be fascinating. Before the chimney had a chance to be swept he decided to try it himself by climbing up the flue. With the results you see here. 

The pattern of the fireplace surround is a tribute to the ranch style fireplace Samantha had in her open plan house in 'Bewitched'. One day I will have a house with that fireplace. One day...

(PS. Ssssshhhh. I'm 49 today...)
