It would get damp and musty if it wasn't heated properly. Of course my boiler is only heating my house and is outside so has automatic frost protection built in. Extreme temperatures are few and far between here on the coast on a relatively small island. Frost is rare as are temperatures above 20℃ (unfortunately).

The radiators are then supposed to turn themselves up when temperature drops below a certain point, to prevent ice forming in the pipes and bursting them.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-57185572542594452102017-02-22T23:34:36.974+01:002017-02-22T23:34:36.974+01:00Sorry to be late in commenting: I missed your post...Sorry to be late in commenting: I missed your post. I'm glad to read that your boiler problems have been solved. For the ten years I lived in New Zealand during the Scottish winter my radiators were never switched off completely although the boiler operated on a timer as it does when I'm living in the house.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-42540590037364133222017-02-20T07:32:56.789+01:002017-02-20T07:32:56.789+01:00Thank you!

It sounds reasonable to me, too, and I hope it will work. What nice new fashion statements. I like them both. I've always wanted a Barbour jacket but wouldn't buy one myself.
