Is that a ladder on the roof? If so, I wonder why it's there???

Irene said...

Yes! We have no idea why it's there.

Escape route?

Looking at it again, I think it was an aid to get up to the chimney once the normal ladder got you up to the roof edge.

Or... Santa's little helper if there is nowhere on the roof to park the sleigh!
