They are advising to carry cash as well in case a shops system goes down and you have to pay by card which is interesting as plenty of places don't take it anymore.

Had power off since Sunday just back on, a few lessons learnt and I would say that despite governments warnings definitely not prepared.

With power outages of that duration, it's time to work out a Plan B.

But ... I got rid of my wood burner and diesel generator in favour of an electric ground source heat pump cos that was going to fix the environment...

Sorry to hear you had such a long outage. Hopefully you have figured out what would work for you in the future should it happen again.

It’s my 5th outage since moving to the Highlands. So
its on me now to sort a backup.

Log burner is a god send. But yep will sort out proper backups and spend a little cash. Community centre was also marvellous, wifi, biscuits and coffee!

Gas bbq was a mixed bag in the end. If it’s very windy it’s not great and we had a storm followed shortly by another.
