My husband and I had both visited in the UK separately, and wanted to take our kids there. We spent 4 days on Lewis (Galson) because my husband had a great desire to go somewhere remote. We loved it. A bit of culture shock, but in a good way!Marbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396985630486715494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-191025465557488012013-08-14T12:47:27.896+01:002013-08-14T12:47:27.896+01:00This brought back some very fond memories of my fa...This brought back some very fond memories of my family's visit to Lewis in 2005. We spent a lot of time in the Black House because the smell of the peat fire was so enchanting to us. We had a hard time tearing ourselves away. Every now and then we'll catch a whiff of something that brings the memory back. It's never quite the same, though!

That is really neat how God has provided for your heat. Over here, we have a "water stove" system. We burn wood in the water stove outside, and pipes conduct the water to the house, where a fan blows the heat through the internal system, providing us with much of our heating for the winter. Also, it's how we get our hot water.
