I see it's cold and snowy back home in Scotland, but it's roasting down here in Cornwall!!

Well done to Craig for getting the flue installed for the multifuel burner. This is the test run fire and all appears to be going well.

Our friends are cooking ham in our oven this afternoon (they're cooking for 10 today and don't have enough room in their own oven). So between that and the fire, we're melting in here...!

One slight hitch that I hadn't thought of.... our very efficient fire alarm thinks the house is on fire and keeps going off. So we've had to disable it..... I wonder what other people do..? If you have a real fire, do you just not have a fire alarm..?

As for songs about Scotland Dad, I'm not sure I can think of any.... I will give it some thought.

Ok, better go... it's so hot, I think I need a wee nap.
