I Was Waiting For This

A pipe burst in the kitchen. I was in the next room and heard it break- and got the stop-cock turned before the house filled up with water. Ailz called a plumber and the man was on the road somewhere in our vicinity and got here and had the pipe mended within an hour. This is going to cost us our insurers £75.

I followed your advice last night and left a tap dripping.

How very fortunate that you were able to get a plumber so quickly! It can take days here. I have had you and other friends across the pond in mind all winter, knowing that you are not as accustomed to these conditions as we are. I am wishing for an early spring for all of you, or at least a thorough January thaw!

Thank you.

Yes, we were very fortunate. We were the third burst our man had attended to that morning.
