Beneath the tower, across a toytown bathed in soft diffuse light, a stork soars, its companion on the chimney pot remains still: time forever arrested.
Wood burning stoves; badly made start up fires; baffles wide open; insulated flues with rain deflectors on the chimney pot equals burning embers landing on the thatch.
It's also important not to have any part of the solar panel obscured by shade -- a tree or a chimney pot, for example, might substantially reduce its efficiency.
A modern, sealed sweep ensures that your flue is safe and unclogged by bird nests, soot build-ups and any other debris that might have dropped down from the chimney pot.
By this time, it is clear from photographs that the combined output of the sites included tiles, bricks, drain pipes and chimney pots as well as horticultural pots.
