Cottage in winter

So we went down to our cottage just after the cold snap. The ice near us was 5 inches thick so I had concerns over our water and what we would find.
In the event we were delayed setting off, so it was after 1:30am when we arrived. I turned the stopcock on. A brief surge to refill the system and the dial stopped. All ok! Our neighbour, who has been here
many years, said he had never known it to freeze over, it is, so he said, far too deep down.
Half done!
But we came to paint. So next day we set too and painted the shutters front and back. Despite it being February we had a good enough day to get it done before nightfall. And the fire has made the house lovely and warm to come back into.
