Keeping Cool in Historic Heatwave

 There are many advantages to living in a 200 year old listed building - this is just one of them.  

Looking online for ways to cool buildings (in the absence of air con or fans), it occurred to me that the almshouses come equipped with fully functional shutters at the windows.

So this morning I closed the shutters, brushed all the accumulated dead leaves and spiders webs off the back of them (sorry, evicted spider!) and voila!  It really helps!
