An Alternative Eco-friendly Fireplace – Bioethanol Fires

November 28, 2017

If you follow me on Social Media, you’ll have seen that I recently visited Clerkenwell Design week in London. It’s a must see event featuring the very latest in design as well as touching base with some old favourites such as Scraplights by Graypants.
