Ice ice baby

We found out that we had frozen pipes today. And what has this got to do with icicles? Well, on the advice of my Dad, we went round the outside of the house in sub-zero temperatures putting gaffer tape over all the ventilation grilles to stop freezing air getting into the crawl space and thereby causing the frozen pipes. We have a long evening ahead of trying to defrost the pipes with hair dryers, hot water bottles and a convection heater that works for about 10 minutes and then goes in a huff. but at least we spotted these luvverly icicles while we were outside.

Still no joy with the fat bird.
