We merrily ordered "cinquante" because that's the size of the poele. Unfortunately the door appears to be "quarante".<br /><br />We went to Bricomarché to get a bow saw (whatever that is) and came back with a small electric chain saw. Result !! It cuts through the logs like butter and we now have a toasty house. Shame it's not toasty outside as well.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134320310335085001.post-17486479843930602832013-04-08T15:55:36.128+01:002013-04-08T15:55:36.128+01:00COOL fotos!!

I hope you have another week to go...and that the weather improves. It would be good if you saw some sunshine and felt a bit of warmth before heading back. Needless to say, its still pretty cold in Yorkshire, but at least we've seen the sunshine this weekend.
