Nice Box

A little unexpectedly (since we thought everything had been cancelled), a man arrived today and started to drill big holes in the wall outside our garden, and plonked a gas box in the appointed space.

We have a pipe on the other side of the wall that our heating engineer can connect up, though we're still waiting for GrDF to dig the trench for the pipe that will actually connect the gas supply to the box. I'm not sure this is all being done in the usual order, but it's good to see some more progress!

Meanwhile, our heating engineer is contacting some people who should hopefully be able to get us an emergency supply of fuel (and not 500 litres of it) - so we can start giving the kids warm baths again!
