Fire

On one hand: fire frightens me. The thought of being surrounded by fire and not finding a way out, is just too much. I think suffocating in a burning house is the most painful death possible.

On the other hand: I'm intrigued by fire. I love to watch the flames and I embrace the cosy feeling a fireplace gives you. We have installed a gas fireplace a couple of years ago. Sitting by the fire, all cuddled up, is just so homey! The heat is different than the warmth the central heating brings you. The game of the dancing flames is interesting to look at and the red cheeks caused by the heat make you feel at home. I'm not much of a winter type, but I don't mind sitting by the fire..
