Oven Ready

It's been a really warm autumn so we hadn't felt the need for the Rayburn until the last week or so. Decided we should get it looked at professionally before it went on though, as we didn't have it serviced last year. The man came yesterday and hoovered it all out, replaced the wicks, chipped off carbon deposits etc., and now we have a lovely warm kitchen (seems to be burning better than last year).


In fact yesterday was a day of ovens - the motor on our nearly ten year old microwave had given up a couple of weeks ago. We'd gotten a bit fed up of having to rearrange the jacket potatoes manually so finally ordered ourselves a new one, which was delivered yesterday.

Dinner last night was (microwave) jacket spuds and sausage casserole (out of the Rayburn)!
