More on the main lounge

• The television is pretty basic - only BBC1, BBC2, ITV1 and S4C.
• FM radio reception is terrible; we listen on the internet. Radio 4 on long wave is OK.
• There is a good selection of maps and walks books on the shelf above the television.
• There are books on local interest and on cookery and some novels here and in the small lounge.
• Although the music centre wins no points for elegance, it produces a very good sound.
• The wood-burning stove was installed on 27 October 2007 so is pretty much untested at the moment but is expected to keep much of the house warm. There is a rather obsessive instruction book on the shelf by the television.
