We visited a hotel in the Rhine that had a good wine cellar, they sold wine and gave free tastings (BIG mistake!)

Mind we did bring some nice wines home, if I can find the hotel site I'll post a link.

Just found, it's the Gasthaus Stahl in Dellhofen. recommended, the food's very good as well.

Mmmm, pub carpet!

Where was I, oh yes, a quick check of our cellar revealed 2 push bikes, a roof box several boxes of junk and a large stock of French wine.

The ABV seems to be 12.5 to 13.5, this was all bought in France from the supermarkets.

Seems they do keep the good stuff and send the rest of the world the dregs.

You read the ABV?

I just guess how strong it is by how long it takes me to fall over!

Barrie, have a drink.

Your friend in Calvados sounds as though he may need to see you Gwyn.

We have one of these Comment Image


and it works surprisingly well for a dry paper log maker.

The logs are useful for lighting the fire, but can damp it down if placed on top of coals. It's an ash thing.

Have you checked the ash pan Gwyn?

When ours needs emptying the stove refuses to do anything!

Failing that throw some petr...

... on second thoughts, don't!

The way the weather's been going we will use all the wood, besides we have a further, smaller delivery in November, and again in January.

Er, we've ordered three, yes three tons this time!

Well, we are getting ready for winter....

The stove is superb, but not cheap.

We're expecting the first wood delivery for the winter log pile next Saturday.

I'll be working so the girls will have to manage without me.

Now how did this thread start?

Good luck with the builders.

Just for info, this is the stove we have. It's the only one we COULD have in a smokeless area.

Well worth the week it took to fit.

The central heating is run from the fire. It heats the water and the house, we can even cook on it!

Best thing we ever did, so far.

Recorded New Tricks to watch tomorrow.
