oh dear

Oh dear indeed, we finally gets some more wintery weather in England and our central heating and hot water decide to breakdown. Most inconvenient!  I was desperate for some nice cold weather over Christmas but instead got very mild dreary weather and now we get a nice cold wintery day and our heating breaks! Oh well, thankfully as my parents live with us and they are older we have got someone coming today.  I wonder if we will get the snow they're threatening.  We're planning to take Spike to Ashdown forest tomorrow or somewhere similar for a nice walk We will  take our hobo stove which is a portable stove that clever Hubby made out of a stainless steel coffee canister so we can cook some sausages or have a hot drink!
