I think the groups now exist [at least - when I go to the 'make a new post' section, there they are, in the "Audience" section]   Hope someone uses them soon - after all the time its taken

Anyone used the Harwich to Hook of Holland ferry service? I'm hoping to drive down to the holiday home later this year, and was thinking of using the service.

By chance I went on the old Forum yesterday - found that someone had PM'ed me from that forum only a few days ago.   I hadn't got any notification of a PM, but obviously the old Forum PM system still works    It might be worth doing the odd visit

There is an interesting article in today's G2 section of the Guardian newspaper by a woman who moved to Italy, founded a successful business, and has now moved back to the UK [but still has the business] because she missed London

If you want maximum heating efficiency, and no smoke - a wood burner is the obvious choice.  However,   -  If heating efficiency etc are not sacrosanct, there's little to beat a nice roaring open fire.  We chose the open fire - its a holiday home, not used a great deal in Winter, although we do usually do about 4 weeks in the skiing season.  The open fire is more than enough [after a couple of days warming the walls] to cause the central heating to cut off  [it's set at 21C]  You could always 'mix and match' your options - one room with the feature open fire, and the rest with wood burners.

.......it could be 90 - mathematically, if a line is normal to another, its at right angles - but that doesn't explain the '(F)' Could it be musical?
