Back in the Tent

 Some years ago when we were having a new kitchen and bathroom fitted, we bought a large tent to camp out in the garden with the dogs through the day while the work was going on. We hadn’t expected to need it again but had it in storage and just as well. A gas leak was detected under the house and it took over a week with workmen coming and going and no heating or hot water in the house as the boiler had to be switched off…so the tent was raised again!

Saoirse making sure she has plenty of blankets too.

The workmen never did locate the source of the leak but have now replaced the piping between the meter and the boiler so at last after over a week without we now have hot water again and a warm house too. The dogs are certainly happier indoors than in the tent in this weather!
