Unfortunately, some of them move the barbecues inside and we get to see them on the news as their house burns down. When my own power goes out I light the battery lamp and eat cold sandwiches. I'm not risking any fires.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-65804795795121277902021-10-04T04:17:25.014+01:002021-10-04T04:17:25.014+01:00Our afternoon tea was made from water boiled in an...Our afternoon tea was made from water boiled in an old-fashioned kettle.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-20500810016659600112021-10-04T04:16:12.780+01:002021-10-04T04:16:12.780+01:00We did start think of an outdoor gas oven.

I remember waking to no power one morning, and the wonderful smell of coffee perking.
