The big freeze by sim1
It has been the coldest winter ever in Scotland, the powerlines were breaking, waterpipes were bursting, but I was having the time of my live! It is soooooo cold, but there were also clear blue skies, and lots of snow. Scotland looked just beautiful!
We did have powercuts ourselves during the week and wondered what was going on. It was a very old cottage, with a coin-opperated electricity supply. The powercuts were aweful, because the cottage got very cold. In these cases, we just went to the pub, to have a drink.... ahhhh, isn't that a great excuse to go to the pub! hahahaha.
The last night was hilarious though. It was getting morning, and I heard something in the bathroom... what was that??? It sounds like running water.... Everyone was still sleeping so I tiptoed to the bathroom.... and saw all that water sprouting in the air!!! Arrrgghhhh, one of the waterpipes burst! Well, everyone was awake within seconds after my discovery! But the problem was solved very quickly, and luckely we were leaving anyway that day :-)
