As the shower didn't emit any kind of heat at all, I used to have a kettle plugged in outside the bathroom and have to boil litres and litres of water to bathe in. A morning bath became a little ritual for me, my poor husband ending up with a lukewarm (if he was lucky) shower - ack! I remember that house being so cold - it was -3ºC outside, and even colder inside! The only upside was the enormous fire, and as we were surrounded by woodland, an almost endless supply of firewood. That was the year I learnt how to start a fire the old way and keep it going for days.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your first month - the first year just rushes by, I still <I>feel</I> such a newlywed, even though it's now been nearly 15 months!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20297574.post-45500674940925708692007-09-11T14:26:00.000+01:002007-09-11T14:26:00.000+01:00I will be sure and try that recipe... sounds scrum...I will be sure and try that recipe... sounds scrumptious...Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03151961559080472585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20297574.post-13694810595561856912007-09-11T13:30:00.000+01:002007-09-11T13:30:00.000+01:00Have been enjoying your delightful blog since stum...Have been enjoying your delightful blog since stumbling across it. <BR/>The recipe sounds delicious.
