It was the best heat ever, and since the bathroom was a normal sized room (not meant as a bath when the house was first built), my sister and I often spent hours in there, reading or chatting, and playing with our cats who had their sleeping places there (where else!).<br />A Christmas lunch at the creamery in Hawes - now that makes me sigh with longing!Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-15138967687241079492017-12-11T20:46:50.272-08:002017-12-11T20:46:50.272-08:00Nice that you went back to your farm.

Nothing else is the same! My house is on a north-facing hill, and the last few days have been really cold, but no snow here (South West Wales).

I hope with all my heart that it did you good - as good as it did for Tess. So many changes. I can see how you're missing the Aga. When my husband could no longer handle the chores of cutting and splitting wood and removed the wood stoves, I've never been warm enough since. Wishing you all the best - good health and warmth - and a good Christmas, too. How I admire your pluck!!! I wonder if you know what an inspiration you are to so many others.
