Next winter

St Parfait

Saint Perfect??? I know a few of those!

We decided to go and try another couple of floor suppliers this morning. We got to the first place and it was such a mess we couldn't find anything that would interest us. It seemed that the warehouse was in the process of being re-vamped so we gave up and went to look at the wood burner shop.

It was a tiny shop considering it supplies lots of huge wood burners but there was a good selection to look at. The nice lady showed us around and, even though we were only looking, we did see the stove we wanted. We'd already see the model on the internet.

We were pleased with what we had seen and we were then impressed to see that the stove was on offer. The saleslady, who we were beginning to like more and more, said that it was the last one they had in stock and that she would like to make us an even better offer on the price. She proceeded to reduce it further and we ended up with a discount of a little over 33%.

You aren't surprised to learn that we bought it. A man will come and check the chimney and site and they will install it in early June.

It's one of those things that we think we should have done before last winter, you know, the one that is still going on (sitting here with the kitchen heater on full blast again), but to be honest we hadn't quite decided how we were going to rearrange the upper floors of the house.

And anyway, if we have a chilly evening in July, we can make the house nice and toasty.
