I was trying to figure out when Fottenbottens closed, and when I put this into the search engine, your blog came up. It was nice to reminisce. I sent the web site for the blog to Patti and Carol.

We had the chimney swept, and I got out the Looftlighter ready for the new season. Alas the season proved very short-lived. On my first attempt to light a fire, the Looftlighter died. Now it's in the recycling. A good-looking piece of equipment, at a competitive price but it is just not fit for purpose. The colder autumn weather is with us once more.
