Just two more freezing days forecast then the temperatures are supposed to return to normal for us. hurrah! I have been worrying about the little girls in the cold but they seem to be coping absolutely fine with it.
We have been having a lovely open fire each evening which is really comforting when it’s like this.
Open fire
In an old Edwardian house like ours with the original windows and wooden floors a bit of extra heat is very much needed at the moment and there is nothing nicer to look at than a roaring fire.
The people that would have originally lived in this house would have had a fire going in most of the rooms including the bedrooms. It must have been quite a job keeping them going.
We use the fireplace in the dining room occasionally when we have family round and it is extra cold but mostly we just use the one in the sitting room. It is a real pleasure at the moment and we wouldn’t be without it.

Looks very warm and nice.
It is lovely in the evenings. It’s really cold again today, made to feel even colder by icy winds. Tomorrow is supposed to be the last frosty morning before milder weather and I can’t wait. This has been the longest frosty period that I can remember and I am so looking forward to more normal temperatures.
Now the winds in mid Ohio are howling and snow is coming down and our mild temps are turning to below freezing for the rest of the week. It is like we traded weather again. We are very much enjoying our wood burning stove!
Oh dear! We had frost again this morning but the lack of sun and bitter wind is making it feel colder. The temperature hasn’t got above – 1.5 today which is your 49. One more frosty morning to go and then it will be milder at last, hurrah!
My mistake. -1.5 is your 29. Stupid me, sorry!
It is difficult to exchange degrees as well as measurements. We had to in school and it seemed quite do able but now i have to keep looking everything up.
Me too. I just can’t seem to retain the information any more and have to look it up each time. Once the comment is submitted you can’t alter it and as soon as I had put it out I realised it couldn’t possibly be correct. I am glad I’m not the only one that has to look things up.
