Winter is coming

Whilst we are still enjoying some lovely sunny weather there is a crispness to the air that heralds the cooler months and with it the dusting off heaters, electric blankets and the acquisition of firewood. Don’t forget to take the time to check that electric cords are still in good order, that chimneys have been swept, LPG gas heater hoses are not damaged and that electric blankets have been checked.
