I really should have taken some pictures but you'll have to use your imagination. I was away from my boat last week during a period of seriously cold weather. A thick rime was coating all the trees, making a beautiful sight but meanwhile, my boat was slowly freezing all the way through. When I finally returned, I noticed icicles had burst out of the ends of the taps in both the kitchen and the bathroom. What I didn't notice straight away was more icicles had exploded out of the sides of all 3 radiators!!
Strangely enough, now that we've had a bit of a thaw, the radiators seem to have miraculously 'healed' themselves and are working again fine. It appears that Braunston Marina did not think to add any anti-freeze to the heating system when they re-filled it, prior to selling me the boat (shame on you! how was I to know?).
The weather forecast is for temperatures to start tumbling again this weekend so I need to sort something out before then as I'll be away for a couple of days and I'd sooner avoid returning to more indoor icicles!
