Preparing for Winter V

@Wednesday2000 - we're lucky in having windows on both north and south, so we can open those wide and get any through breeze there is. Sometimes there just isn't any breeze but we've got excellent insulation above us in the roof, free to us under a govt scheme, and that has definitely made a difference. We also bought a tension-pole, those curtain-rods that don't need wall attachments, and put it into the window on the south, with very very lightweight pale curtains so we can pull those across so the sun is reflected back but the breeze still comes through. (Heavy winter curtains don't help in summer!)

Thanks for the info. I definitely have done that curtain trick on the south facing side of my house during the last heatwaves and it worked well.
