As this blog has only just begun, it seems only right to
show you home as it is now, so here we are slap bang in the middle of a
Romanian winter. Snow and sub-zero temperatures all around, but all prepared
for, not because we’re smart, but because we have learnt from mistakes made in
recent years, until then we didn’t have a clue!
The first year, absolutely no knowledge about temperatures,
no understanding of the Romanian language and following the frozen pipes, came
one frozen water pump. A new pump later and defrosted pipes, along came the
frozen drains and more frozen pipes. No problem though, we drew water from the
well and lived through that winter like most of our neighbours at the time by
using the outside loo and heating water for washing on the stove. More about those times in future blogs, but
needless to say, we learnt from those mistakes and now we’re pretty well experienced.
