Here we have our first snowstorms and no central heating, so I am a teensy bit envious! We have a tank full of waste oil, but the boiler doesn't like this latest delivery and keeps expiring in clouds of acrid smoke, so for the moment we are making do with the trusty wood-burning stove downstairs and a LOT of layers upstairs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-66971812148002580532010-11-24T21:36:27.595+00:002010-11-24T21:36:27.595+00:00Hi Wessex Reiver - umm actually my name is Sian (t...Hi Wessex Reiver - umm actually my name is Sian (though I think that got buried down the list somewhere).

I read this in deepest wiltshire and in a house with oil heating, but it makes me realise how hard life can be on an island, but when it's good, it's good.
