I just hope that if there isn't too much damage!<br />So much for global warming...GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-37609418928531834342012-02-14T07:55:24.865+00:002012-02-14T07:55:24.865+00:00Hope you are keeping warm!Hope you are keeping warm!GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-80456239798862747492012-02-14T07:54:45.726+00:002012-02-14T07:54:45.726+00:00You're probably right - just not as interestin...You're probably right - just not as interesting ...GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-54138672787104155002012-02-14T07:53:55.679+00:002012-02-14T07:53:55.679+00:00A friend of ours does this too, but then has to sp...A friend of ours does this too, but then has to sponge it all back out to prevent the antifreeze from going into the septic tank.

It was so mild then that we nearly forgot to do it !!<br />We are lucky enough to have Alex and Nicole checking up for us, like you with Martin and Denise, which is just such a relief. When we had burst pipes a couple of winters ago they got it fixed before we even had to face it for ourselves, which is wonderful.<br />And to think that when we were looking at houses in the area the agent said it never snows !!<br />Actually, he was probably right. According to our neighbour Mme André, it never did until two or three years ago !!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-35239503194947035412012-02-13T21:28:33.466+00:002012-02-13T21:28:33.466+00:00Hope you are staying warm.
