Decorate your Fireplace at Christmas

Victorian fireplaces would like you to think about your own Fireplace and getting it prepared for the festivities.

Yes Christmas is just around the corner 29 day's to that lovely time, that smell of the Christmas dinner being prepared, I can taste the smell of those mince pies wafting into the lounge where all sanity has gone, wrapping paper strewn all over the floor as children rip away to find what's inside. Baffled Grand parents with new electronic games, Huge flat screen TVs blaring out the new xbox game,- lost instruction books, - damn no batteries!! - "I am going to walk the dog".

Its a lovely time and no Fireplaces to think about, well only yours,  the one to get decorated. Here is a link to a website I found that you might find interesting. Kirstie Allsopp and decorate your fireplace with these great decoration tips.

About the show
Alex (Stephen Mangan) is a talent agent suffering all the sadness and pain of divorce. In the office opposite him is Helen (Sharon Horgan) a talent agent suffering all the sadness and pain of bereavement. They’re perfect for each other. According to Alex. According to Helen, he has got to be bloody joking. There’s no way she’s having sex with Alex. Again. Not after the last two times they had sex. Absolutely not….

Set in a world where everyone - the agents, the agents’ boss (Anthony Head), the agents’ clients, the agents’ friends and relations and ex-girlfriends and accountants - are all as bizarrely screwed up as Alex and Helen - Free Agents is a dark, poignant comedy. An on-but-mostly-off romance about a couple who might just have a future if they can ever shake off their past(s)….
