K lives between two houses and provides care in both. The first house is owned by S, who is 73 years old, and has her heating on at all times (her logic is that switching it on and off costs more money). This makes the home very cosy for K, who is happy to take care of S and in return, not worry about the heating bills. K also goes to the other house, where her daughter and granddaughter live, and here she uses a combi-boiler as well as an electric blanket and oil heaters as the current radiators are very old and need to be replaced.
Coldest memory?
It has to be the 1970s when we moved here and were not used to the severe cold weather and there was no heating. I remember the fires in the living room and then came the fan heaters and the hot water bottle.
