First fire of the autumn

Posted on October 5, 2008 by Richard in Situations

As the rain is pouring down outside and we’re all tired (NOT hung over!) after a great night, what better than to crash out in front of our first fire of the autumn?

    The first hint of winter and what did we do today? Removed our boiler.

    Hopefully the new wood burner and water heating system will be in place in a few weeks and before it gets really cold.

    In the meantime, it’s a bit like camping here: we’ve got a fire in one room and we can shower in the gite, though that is unheated.

    Oops Jon, that sounds entertaining! Luckily it seems to have really warmed up since Sunday and we have not needed heating or fires since then. Long may it continue!
