Wood Fire Quotes

“Cooking and eating food outdoors makes it taste infinitely better than the same meal prepared and consumed indoors.”
― Fennel Hudson, Fine Things: Fennel's Journal No. 8

“I fell to wondering if it would feel very terrible to burn one's own logs, or if the excitement of it would make up for the feeling that a tree had died? If it was a favourite tree, surely one could never burn it? To burn a branch which has whispered to you on summer nights--which has sheltered you, which you have caressed...no, that would be impossible. Besides--it is much more fun to climb the hedge that leads to your neighbours' fields, and creep round at dusk, to the old ash that was blown down last March, and gather a great bundle of wood which doesn't belong to you.”
― Beverley Nichols, A Thatched Roof
