41. The Hearth of a Home

The Hearth of a Home

During the day we are so very happy and grateful to be back at the Nook but at night, far from being cosy and warm, as it once was, our home is freezing. 

This is partially due to the fact that we do not have window coverings in all the rooms yet but mainly because our beautiful, old, potbelly stove still needs to have the flu reconnected. 

With nights regularly getting down to 3 degrees Celsius at the moment, it is freezing and the damp and cold seem to have penetrated the very bones of the home.

We are discovering that the hearth truly is the heart of our home!
