It breaks down every 11 to 12 months because the heating system wasn't installed properly in the first place. It's a wood pellet boiler and should have been installed with a buffer tank so that's the big job being done next week. We had always called out a plumber to replace the pump so we were really chuffed at doing it ourselves this time. Saved £150!<br /><br />Lots of apples been cooked here and I made my first batch of chutney (haven't tried it yet).SusanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622557936441532144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8953248892638598159.post-41502000556698942932014-10-15T14:50:31.697+01:002014-10-15T14:50:31.697+01:00We like baked apples with a bit of maple syrup and...We like baked apples with a bit of maple syrup and nuts.
