Happy Birthday Derwent6

Well after one of the coldest nights, Derwent6 has survived two years on the cut. It just doesn't seem like two years and we have had so much fun. When we tried to take out the porthole bungs this morning they were frozen in, and the cratch cover was like a bit of cardboard.

We cleaned out the fire and prepared it for coal for the first time this year as the wood has run out.

Al down in Kent had another three inches of snow and was desperate to get her dad in to see her mum. So it was out with the shovels and dig the car out.After 2 and a half hours and back ache they were able to get out and after some stressful driving they got to the hospital. Things were all OK but they did feel Pam's memory loss had got worse. They still don't know why all this happened even after a scan. The good news is she could be home for Christmas.

Del on the other hand was enjoying himself. Alan and Carol had called in on their way back from Birmingham as Alan had just brought a new guitar. When you have a new guitar you want someone to play it with so Del came back to their house and was treated with a lovely meal by Carol and a good guitar lesson from Alan..It was great to see them and good fun. Thanks guys!
