Yeah, tough year for the other half so ready to escape. Snow in the mountains would be a bonus.

Osmo is brilliant and not cheap but def needs to be on dry wood. Went a bit mad with the UV exterior version this year. Really nice finish though and apparently lasts for ages. Get a hairdryer on it to try n dry the wood out

Nowt like a bit of hard manual labour in tough conditions to stiffen the spirit- Theres a reason Rum was invented 😂 Enjoy
