    Hope boiler man was OK Dusty, mine is next Monday, gas though, but has expensive bits in it. A bit like MOTs with cars, you think it's OK, but there is some hidden expensive bit corroding away in there.
    Actually I'll be glad to see BM, the traitor was going to get a Heat Pump :o , an offer he could not refuse, apparently. Just wondering if he went ahead & his verdict.

    Message from T & M, my Japanese anemones & seed are on the way, hopefully I can get them potted up by the weekend, just into outdoor sheltered pots for the winter I think while they settle down

    Just refreshed, some nice frosty photos, and Dusty's framed one
    I have no recent ones, all grey, or clouds, but here's one from 2022, Winchester Cathedral, showing sun rays, right place & time, plus spot of framing, mono & OT >:)


    Jake the Peg on the left? :D Love that view. o:)
    The boiler here was installed in 2015 along with a new system and has (so far!) used zero new parts other than the usual bits replaced annually and the anti-corrosion stuff. Oil boilers are somewhat more expensive than their gas cousins, though.
    I think we could convert to air source heat pump, perhaps with some modifications to a few radiators. Most of the house would be OK, as it's mostly heated by the wood burner. We might even be entitled to some sort of grant to convert, if when our 'lodgers' leave us. :)
    I was quite keen on the T&M Japanese anemone offer, until I saw the postage cost! I bought half a dozen s/h clothing items on the Bay to use on the 'farm' this winter, and they came here post free! o:)
    OT. Reports of snow in Birmingham and on the Mendips. Here it's mostly Sunny and Cher Brrr! B)
