This blogging business is keeping me up way past my previous bed-time with the sun. In the last 6 weeks, I have been enjoying going to bed when it is dark, but now as the days are getting shorter and as daylight savings is coming to an end, I don’t think the new sun setting time of about 6pm is going to work for me. It has made me much more aware of how as a collective, we are so dependent on energy- for light particularly when I’m in darkness- but also of course the fridge issue, for cooking, hot showers, cups of tea AND keeping warm- for the approaching chilly mountain winter. How to do all of these things in an earth friendly way without supporting these mega awful industries and contributing to the decline in ecosystems throughout the world?
I guess I’ll find out soon enough!
I’ve been thinking about the staying-warm-in-winter issue and how to utilise the materials around my magical little home, there are bricks, besser blocks and large glass window panes. All which could create a thermal mass from my beautiful northerly aspect. A little pot belly stove has been also suggested for cooking and staying warm too- maybe with some copper pipe that could feed into the caravan to keep me toasty and snug in my little safe haven too. Hmm.. lots to think about for the moment!
