New member. Burnin from Scotland. Great forum !

I've thought about ageing my cider in an old whisky barrel before, but empty whisky barrels are hard to find down these parts.

Last time I saw any empty ones was up past Callendar when we were staying in the Trossachs on holiday.

Great scenery and great whisky (I tried to help empty a barrel or two whilst there)......... ;-)

thanx again for the warm welcome everyone. lookin forward now to sittin back and surfing this site. i managed to upload a couple of pictures at least for now but ill be back. the first photos in my living room and as one of you guys said " no photo, no stove "
the second photo is in my garden. this is where im storing my wood.
thanx.

Wow. Great place. What kind of stove is that? That fireplace is beautiful

I think there is a really cold swan in your back yard.

That stove setting is like something out of a magazine or something, it's lovely.

And that's my wife's favourite colour on the walls too, it sets the white mantel off perfectly.

Must keep her away from this thread or I might find myself with some decorating to do........ ;-)

Hey. Nice to hear from you. So jealous about you livin in Florida i must admit. I live in Carmunnock its the only village in Glasgow and even though its only 20 minutes from the city its proper countryside which is great until the snow comes

Thanks. Probably a good idea about your wife. My cousin and i got the stove fitted 2 weeks before Christmas and then my wife decides that we ( or should i say I ) should completely re-do the whole room. It was a mad rush but got there. Our Xmas tree only went up on the 23rd

Welcome to the forum . . . always nice to hear from folks from all corners of this world of ours.

Welcome to the forum Tonybhoy1888.

Even weirder, everyone on this thread now has a brogue.

Okay, someone has to say it, so may as well be me:

Picts . . . or it didn't happen.

Welcome Tony.
Nice place.
Very unique fire wood source you have.
