Doing our bit for Global Warming....

While we at my parents last Saturday the power failed when a huge branch fell off a tree and damaged the power lines at the top of the road. Dad remembered that he had a small generator and we pulled it out and got it going. As a quick test he plugged in a small heater to check the loading on the generator. The poor old engine wasn't too impressed! We were able to warm up a bit in the garden but it is probably NOT the most efficient way of doing it though! The boys found it all highly amusing. Luckily the electricity came on before the generator was really required...
