A two day journey home, with an added visit to friends...who had a couple of mutual friends from London staying with them.
A nice stop, coffee and hot mince pies, and the sight of the moon over the Solway Firth.
Then home again to a very cold house!!
And a dramatic dawn after a freezing night.
I had put the heating thermostat on 12⁰C overnight...and our warmest room, the living room went below 11⁰ and triggered the boiler to start up!
At 6am I turned the thermostat up, to warm the house before we got up!
A morning of washing, tidying, packing four fleabay orders before a quick lunch and off on the bus to our local post office 2½ miles away..then the next bus to town for a quick top up shop. After two days of over 200 miles driving I needed a break!!
Arriving home at dusk, the house was dark...Pirate was having a nap...but also colder than expected...
The boiler was burning gas...but not heating anything....
Luckily we have an electric fire in the living room and a fan heater in our bedroom....and hopefully a plumber tomorrow...or maybe Thursday...a friend of our landlord.... fingers crossed....

Oh, sympathy! I hope you're now sorted out with heat!
Oh dear. That's not good. I hope a remedy is soon to come. Meantime, some snuggling can raise the temperature. 😉

Winter is definitely coming, in fact looking out this morning it seems to be well and truly arrived. Hope you're able to get the heating problems sorted out quickly.
Oh crikey. This is not the weather for having the heating break down. It was below zero here last night too.
So glad that you have some heat back-up. Not the time of year for no heat!
We are enjoying our usual crazy weather. Sunny and 60ºF on Monday, last night everything froze.
...the lighthouse would beckon me home!
((O)). Love this idea
