Winter fuel

Preparing for winter!


There will be some unloading here! Harry made a start today but it’s under cover so not taking any harm.

I have been baking for John & Stephen’s annual charity garden party tomorrow.
A recipe from NZ so hope it’s ok.
Caramel Meringue.

I seem to be a day ahead of myself on dates for some reason!

Oooh getting ready early! Well seasoned?

Nothing like an early start in preparation for winter. whatever that may be with the weather so unpredictable !
Caramel meringue really sounds a very sweet treat !!

[carol white]

Nothing like being prepared

[Joan Robillard]

Good capture but do we have to think about winter just yet:)

Looks like good wood.. hope you don't need it too soon.
Caramel meringue use to be a fave Mum made.. Must do it again..

Great photo representing a lot of work! We spent quite a few months in New Zealand back in 1993. Haven't heard of caramel meringue, though? Recipe? :-)

@julzmaioro I followed the recipe religiously but the toffee is too runny! I think she wrote an ingredient down wrong. 🙄 @bjywamer

Good to be prepared. We always stock up on oil in the summer because it’s cheaper.
Caramel meringue sounds lovely!

[Beverley]

Sounds delish… good planning with the wood

[Dianne]

Look at you all organised for winter.

Not just the delivery of the wood which is good, but the stacking of it is so important. We had a delivery and the guys who were going to stack it in the wood shed, got covid and haven't come back! John, aged 90, is stacking it himself a little bit at a time!

[Judith Johnson]

That's a nice pile of logs for the winter.

[Babs]

Looks like you are prepared for winter here.
We are coming to the end of winter now, but we may stock up with another cubic metre of logs at this year's prices ready for next winter.

[leggzy]

Looks like a lot of work ahead, but good that you're getting prepared ahead of winter!

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae Harry had a go stacking some of it yesterday in spite of being told to leave until help on Monday! His back will be bad again I expect this morning. He hasn’t walked for the paper, I went in the car!!

Great story telling image and story
