Crickhowell - the words!

Well, I don't know what I did wrong but once I got the photos up and rearranged them, Blogger then wouldn't let me insert any words! Sorry for the delay in this posting but we have had our eldest daughter and her boyfriend here for the weekend, and so things have been busy. It has also been perishing cold, and we virtually ran out of both heating oil AND wood for the woodburner this weekend, which was not a good plan as it has been wickedly cold (and getting worse). We had ordered oil last Wednesday but apparently they were a week behind with their deliveries and we were told tomorrow was the earliest we could have any. We phoned yesterday to say we had had to turn the heating off, and as I had asthma, this wasn't a great idea. When we came back from Carmarthen, bless them, they had been and topped up the tank. We have also been wooding up the valley and picked up a goodly lot of firewood – from roadside trees which had fallen in storms, been cut up and left. So now we have enough to see us through and with any luck it will warm up next week and lighting the woodburner won't be so essential as it is at the moment. Enjoy the photos of Crickhowell. It has quite a history, so I will put up another photo and some words tomorrow. Keep warm.

  2. Thanks Elaine - we were SO relieved as this is such a big house to heat, and one room living isn't much fun! Toasty as long as we are near the fire.

  3. We ran out of propane once or twice in Wyoming where winters are long and cold. We are always frugal with fuel and i recall feeling very ill used--as well as very chilly, before the fuel company arrived. Having 'back up' heat is always a good plan. I'm glad you are warm again!

  4. Gosh, I should imagine your winters in Wyoming were ten times worse than we have here. The worst thing at the moment is the very low temperatures and wind-chill factor - I am certainly deterred from my daily walk!
