I remember as a child when we used to visit my grandparents house, one of the many things I loved when visiting them was the wood outdoor furnace they had. I used to help my Grandpa go out and collect the wood and then put it in and we’d sit and watch it burn for a while – then we would go inside where it was all toasty and warm and we all used to sit around the kitchen table and talk and play games. The adults would also do a lot of drinking and get a little merry, which as a kid I always found highly amusing – “Grans getting silly” I used to say when she’d start slurring her words.

Feels a little odd that I have happy memories from childhood of my family getting drunk, but that’s how it is!

We should definitely consider getting one for this house because it sure does get cold in the winter and because money is tight I am always fretting when we have the heating on and only put it on when it’s really, really cold.
