Temperature
When we first moved into this house, it was cold, and I complained of being ‘freezing,’ and wrapped myself up in blankets and jumpers (ever the drama queen). After just a few days (maybe 3-4) after moving in, the house became very very warm. The north-facing windows are bathed in sunlight a lot of the […]
Wood
With the Esse, which we pretty much run 24/7, we need a plentiful wood supply. I am fairly proud of and confident in my husband, who goes out to add to the wood supply whenever he has a spare hour or so. Today he has been twice to get some wood. He goes down the […]

We’re in!!!
Wow. We moved in on Thursday – our first night! We started by moving in the big furniture, and any boxes that were in the way of accessing more big stuff. The children have been very excited, and are now exhausted after four days of change. Wardrobes are filling up, as are kitchen cupboards! Our pantry […]
