Like many people we don't heat the whole house, so this room is the only one that the wine (and often rising bread) and a parrot can be sure of a constant warm temperature.So there really isn't an alternative. I hope Percy doesn't develop a drink problem...

Few days, I feel exhausted just reading your post :-) its great that you are eating home produced foods and I can see lots of lovely lamb dishes appearing on your future menu plans. I think lamb is my favourite meat, so tasty. Hope Percy doesnt fall off his perch drunk, he might start saying plop plop plop!<br />Take care xKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11228988475838309316noreply@blogger.com
