I am happy today to be receiving my quarterly gas & electric bill!  The reason I am happy is that tecause of my frugality (rather put a jumper on than the heating) and receiving government subsidies has meant instead of having a bill, I am £142 in CREDIT! ......Yay. 
I utilise the logburner which heats my 'chillout' room plus the kitchen and that's all I need! The doors to the rest of the house are shut off and my living area gets toasty! 
I do have to buy some logs but I also scrounge timber whenever and wherever I can. I get the chainsaw out when I have enough to make it worthwhile.
I don't get colds and spend a lot of time outdoors. I only put the central heating on if I am having a shower.

Manure math and popping seedlings. I've been ever so good this year, only starting seeds in the cold (several panels missing levels of cold) greenhouse and they're starting to germinate.

Pricking out seedlings in the warmth of a sunny GH. Doesn't a little bit of sunshine make life so much more agreeable. Some of the seedlings are DJ's purple/red sweet peas saved on 2020. They're thriving.

I'm not worried what colour they are, sweetpeas are fine whatever colour.
