The fire is ON!

When working, tis difficult to keep the fire going, but it was perishing today, so I thought I'd set the fire.
Took about 40 minutes, but the boat is now toasty....

Keep warm everyone.

I am this Moorhen
The ducks and seagulls are in the frigid water
Frankly, I'd not be keen either

Well and truly frozen in

Winter can be as beautiful as summer on a narrowboat need to be prepared for cold snaps by making sure water tank’s full & plenty of fuel for the fire

Has been compared to living in an igloo

Birds stand on the iced over canal. A portion remains open water and the ducks are swimming in it.
