Cold snap - holy rolly...

Last few days have been a trifle inclement in the cold sort of a way...

We have given in, the log stove our main heat this winter so far has had to be helped by the central heating.

But we have still saved a fortune and the planet by vast consumption of wood over oil.

Some of the wood though is not quite as dry as it might be, soaking might be another way of describing it.

Management being nothing if not resourceful put a load of it in the aga main stove last night so that it was properly dry.

I will draw a veil of mercy and spare her embarrassment. But I can confirm that the fire might have been out this morning but that was no problem, all it took was to take a shovel and transfer the blazing inferno from the aga oven to the firebox of the log stove...

Still is is going well now and with the temperature barely above freezing all day the central heating has been off.
