One of my sister’s best friends has married a Swede and moved to Sweden. One evening she found herself explaining the concept of the draught excluder to a group of his friends. They were absolutely baffled by the idea. After a long silence one of them asked, “Why don’t you build proper houses?”
Alas.
This really made me laugh! After 15 years in Scotland I am still baffled by the draft that seems to be coming from all corners of our house even though over the years we have added layers upon layers of insulation. I am Swiss and like the Swedes the Swiss build houses where the snow on the roof does not melt. x
Christina, that is truly impressive. On the walk to school in the morning we look for houses where the frost hasn’t melted from the roof and the winners are mostly empty houses…
