Piglet: Under the cover of darkness. 1st March 2013

This was to be the first time we had travelled to Braunston after work on a Friday evening.  The journey didn't really take any longer than it did normally which was good to know.

When we arrived, everything was in darkness and it felt like the middle of the night even though it was only just gone half eight.

Apart from a couple of hours in early February, Piglet had been shut up since December so was looking very cold and dark.  We turned on the 12 and 24 volt electrics (the 240 volt was already on to power a couple of heaters) and the gas and pressed the 'go' button on the Webasto diesel heater.  This thankfully burst into life in a plume of water vapour out of the exhaust.  We lit a fire as well to help bring the temperature up and soon heat inside was climbing past 15 degrees.

We had brought some Chilli with us so while that was warming up on the hob we made the bed up and stowed a few other bits away.

After eating we watched TV, had a few glasses of beer and wine and headed for bed.
