I thought Albert was going a bit batty when I saw these (used) teabags drying by the fire.  Then I a troubling thought that he was going to dry the teabags and then reuse them – as teabags!

I know we are a pretty green family, but even I would not be a part of this resource saving idea.

Of course, it all became apparent when I saw his next move. Dipping the (now) dried teabags into a jar of  metho and putting them into the fire.

He was making fire starters!  Fantastic, ingenious man!

Commercial fire starters are smell nasty things and a quick look at the packaging tells us that they are made of all sorts of chemicals.

The teabag method works a treat.
