It will be toasty this winter for you with new double glazing. I had mine done a year ago and it made such a difference.

Weirdly, it's possibly not going to make much difference - we're having the old double glazing replaced because it was poorly installed and we have damp round some frames, and there were no vents so we had condensation problems. We're getting more noise and hopefully better air circulation.

I didn’t get trickle vents in mine as they are sliding sash, I have 5 open fireplaces so I thought that would do the job

We had ours done last autumn and it really does make such a difference. I don’t think we needed the winter duvet!

We went the whole hog in the early days here and had the floors dug out and insulated plus insulation on all the external walls. It was worth all the hassle, and last year we installed central heating which is bliss. We sadly had to lose the again, but still have the multi fuel burner.

I gave my AGA to the scrap man and got a La Nordica put in, I love it so much.

It was a fraction of the price of any other cook stove and yet the quality is superb

The Italians are the best when it comes to wood burning stoves

Well done. We have a wood fired Rayburn which powers our central heating but it’s a lot of work. Lovely for cooking though.

I used to have a solid fuel Rayburn, I loved it. My boat stove also does the radiators

I have a friend who had one of those, she had an old poem about when she should use certain types of wood to get particular effects. I miss the AGA for cooking but it had outlived it's place.
