RE: Book Review: Women of Western New Brunswick, by Anne Murphy

in Hive Book Club9 months ago (edited)

A New Brunswick winter could get quite cold. I heard stories of how people put hot stones in the carriage to keep warm. Large rocks would be heated in the oven of the wood stove and could also be put in the bed for warmth. Hot coals would be a bit dangerous. 😊

Maybe it was stones! I was going to put the word in brackets because it was at the back of my head. I love those old stories so full history.
