Lighting and maintaining a fire in a wood-burning stove

Some old remnants of a studious childhood or […]

Pets

Your four-legged friends can’t stay at Kerbeleg, and yet… We have always loved them! But the mascots of the house are a little cat, Leelooch’ (small squint and red coat depending on the time of day), and Tofu, who are both overflowing with affection.
