This week, we have still been burning coal to keep the boat warm in between the rain showers. Our fuel stocks are low and after being told by the petrol station attendant that they only provide seasonal outdoor products; it's April there is no coal or wood only disposable bbq's and bags of briquettes, we have been on the hunt for free wood. Fortunately, we found some broken chair pieces in a skip and picked up some kindling from a shop in town to keep us going over the weekend. In Nottingham however, there is a lack of woodland lining the canal so my searches for dead wood have been unsuccessful here and without a vehicle it is not all that easy to collect wood from any distance. Leigh has been doing a spot of research on the weather forecast and by the sounds of it May is going to be cold too. Baa! Time for a cuppa I think!
