Coal for the cold!!

I wanted to take a photo of the strong coal covered man who delivered our tonne of coal, but he was quite intimidating. He was big all over with a shaved coal covered head, he may have been a bit tanned, he may have just been covered in coal dust, but he carried the coal from his truck to our cellar, 1 tonne on his back...finally breaking a sweat when he began carrying our neighbours 1 tonne of coal. That's right, 1 man, 2 tonnes of coal. Incredible. Incredible it's actually legal! I'm very thankful though, sitting here next to our coal oven in our cosy kitchen. I wonder if the novelty of filling up my milk can with coal every 2 days will have worn off by February?!

Oh and it feels good to be back :-)
