Every winter we get quite a few blackouts, sometimes for hours at a time. Personally, I think they divert the power to Cardiff when there's problems, blacking out everywhere else ;) I quite like it, with the Aga going I still get tea, toast and cosy warmth, so it's like a little adventure!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02730092231227512200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863795088574059616.post-26736702536285495742013-11-04T09:10:26.100+00:002013-11-04T09:10:26.100+00:00I can't imagine having power cuts on a regular...I can't imagine having power cuts on a regular basis, that must be very frustrating, thought I love how organised you are, its true in this modern day we rely far to much on technology so panic when were hit with a bit of strong wind or snow, you would think living on an island we all would be a little more prepared for weird weather!

It must have been truly unsettling. But it would certainly have made getting back indoors all the more cosy and relieving!Miss Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952933650748631441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8863795088574059616.post-35437939747929708772013-10-30T14:02:44.981+00:002013-10-30T14:02:44.981+00:00your article is timely, as there have been rumors ...your article is timely, as there have been rumors of a blackout in the u.s. they have been doing blackout drills, national geographic channel showed a movie called american blackout sunday night and some news stations are giving tips on how to prepare for a blackout. different sort of blackout i guess but still very interesting. thanks for sharing!kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532066803345129472noreply@blogger.com
