Rosehip
The last time we had a long power cut here, Youngest was a toddler - all 5 of us slept on the lounge floor with the fire lit. Then the next week we ran out of oil and had to repeat for a few days until we got some delivered. |

No power Han… thanks for asking. Actually we have also run out of water now. It’s usually pumped from a spring in the valley bottom. Big storage tanks in the loft, but today it was time to decamp to Mum in laws in a warm modern bungalow in Windermere. She has this marvellous invention called electricity. We must get some one day. |

Stunning photo! But very dire you are still without power! Here everything has now normalised itself so I think restored, no more generators... |

At the farm I had with the ex hb, we had a diesel generator as a backup for our water, pumped up from a borehole, no collection tanks!

Not Mushroom at the Inn
For anyone close to Millom this weekend, Sat 18th Dec - Joss Naylor will be running his first parkrun. They are wanting as many as possible to join in and support / celebrate with Joss. The course has now changed from being one of the hardest in the country (think knee-deep in mud) to a fast purpose built track. facebook.com parkrun.org.uk |
