The first thing we did after buying the house was to organise a peat bank so we could provide our own winter fuel.

| Our peat bank before we started cutting. |
Firstly the turf has to be removed, then the peat is cut with a tushkar (a traditional tool) and finally stacked with air gaps to dry. Ours came home last night ready to go into the peat store. It should have made it's way home in the trailer but for some strange reason it hitched it's way on the back seat!
There's no where near enough to see us through the winter but next year we will go as a family to cut the peat and hopefully have enough to keep the little Morso stove burning bright right through the dark nights.
