Well if anything could go wrong it has. With all the beautiful snow and ice the downside was we had no water in the buildings or out in the fields. Lots of swearing, by Bob and the 1000l container filled up by Bob only to be emptied every day by the guzzling horses out in the fields. Fortunately we still had water in the prep room for the dogs. Hilarity and slight hysteria getting from the kennels to the prep room though. If we were still in Doncaster it would have all been captured on CCTV and all over the internet by now…
Then just as quickly as it froze, it thawed.
Then the smell in the house, sorry Lana I blamed you. But then it got worse, an electrical smell. The house nearly went up a couple of nights ago but we were very fortunate that it didn’t…
So now, after many conversations and visiting electricians, and more swearing, we have only limited electrics in the house and very limited on the yard. Clearly the house is not important.
We will manage, it’s like being back at Fall Lane, carting water about and wearing head torches. The dogs are oblivious. We can only use 2 of the gas heaters but thankfully it is warming up and they all had coats on last night just in case…
The electrics are shot and it is going to be very expensive no doubt….but we are, hopefully, all safe and the rest will work itself out…..Deb
