We’ve run out of oil! This has never happened before. We woke this morning to cold radiators, and I remembered that the hot water wasn’t actually hot last night. After briefly suspecting a boiler breakdown, I popped out to check the oil tank. Empty. We have a “top up scheme” – our supplier uses software to monitor our use, monitor the weather, and calculate how much oil is in our tank. We don’t normally have to worry about it – a tanker just pulls up every now and then and fills our oil tank. Unfortunately no-one told the software that Chantal has been poorly, and that the heating has been on all day for the past 6 weeks. A delivery has already been arranged for tomorrow. Thank goodness for the log burner.
Ian and Daniel came up for the weekend to see Andree – it has been 4 years since today that Jake died. Steven and Sherry took the opportunity of a lift to stay with us for the weekend – a post and photo or two will be published in due course.
Technically we live in Oaktree House, but sadly the tree had to go.
We now have a thriving Oakstump at the front of the house.
