Went for my first supply of kerosene for the winter on Saturday & was a tad shocked at the price..£1.145 a litre, was .65 last Feb when I last bought some. Red diesel was £1.18 a litre at the same place, was paying 80p last Feb! 🙄
I dunno how coal / wood etc has gone up but its looking like a bleak winter ahead!🙁
Are you lot stocking up early on anything to avoid any price increases, fuel / food etc, any suggestions for starting a ‘panic buying’ frenzy?

Is the kerosene for your heating system ?

Got an extra load of hardwood logs for the house wood burner. Trying to use that more than the gas CH, but so far it’s been mostly too mild to light it. Global warming has some advantages!

It has been very mild so far, living in a house ... the heating has barely been on.
Have you intrepid all year boaters found it so ... you are much closer to the seasons onboard.

Rog We have lit the stove the last few evenings just to be comfy. Not bothered in the mornings or day though. It’s very mild. |

I have a pretty good stack of wood (although some is probably too green for this winter) and I have hopes of another couple of trailer loads' Fuel tank over 3/4 full 650 litres ish. Hopefully that will see me through the winter. Could do with another couple of cases of wine ..... but I suppose I could survive  |

Just a thought for you all, in 6 weeks time all imports of Russian crude oil to the EU and other countries stop, we used to import 18% of our diesel from them dont know if we still do? but expect a rise in prices at the pump as this is on top of the massive cut in crude oil production agreed by OPEC! possibly now might be the time to fill those fuel tanks>

I've got about 5 cu m stacked in the garden for the woodstove. We had a proper flue liner installed with vermiculite filler over the summer. I've had the fire going a couple of times and it does seem to have improved the burn. Although it's quite mild in the boat today, Noreen has a cold, feeling rough, so we have lit the stove to keep her comfortable. A couple of bits of Heatlog, john with a little v uses them, plus a small oak log, well dried canal side windfall. |
