Friday: The Snowy Back

Lawrence, the plumber, was tapping on the door by 0840 this morning.  He was here for a good four hours during which there was a lot of sucking of teeth and humming and hawing.  Anyway, it’s a very (VERY) big job, apparently.  At the moment, we have a system that, if we turn the mains on, allows us to have hot water to the bath and shower, and that’s it.  Well, we’ll continue to make do.

After he’d gone, I wrote a strongly worded email to the letting agents, using phrases such as ‘extremely’, ‘absolutely’ and ‘unfortunately’.  That will make them afeared!

This is the back of the house in its snowiness!  There’s a little path for Barney.  We’re not staying up until midnight so it’s a quietish new year for us.

Happy new year, dear blip friends!  Hope 2022 is better for us all!  To give you a teaser - we have two new chapters coming up this year.    One short term and one long term, and neither in the UK, so watch this space……..
