Out with the old

---

and in with the older! Our old Rayburn cooker developed a leak in its boiler before Christmas ( rather a nuisance as it tended to put the fire out), and after a lot of thought we decided to get a smaller older Rayburn to replace it. There were several reasons which we won't go into!!! Anyway, today was the day to do the deed - luckily I was at work for some of the time, as there's never anywhere to go when there are plumbers in the house. And I'm very pleased with the result - well the look of it anyway. Can't light the fire till tomorrow when the fire cement has had a chance to dry off. That will be the test, won't it? If you don't hear from me again.........

it knows its going
and looks sad. even worse when it had all the doors removed. It was a good friend, that Rayburn!

same size, same shape
and the boiler is leak free! I like the colour too.

I never knew what one of those was till I met you Carrie. I must say that the new one looks very smart. Hope it keeps your toes warm. I hope all's well with you. Lots of Love, Roz
