Alina grinned. "I'll get the wood stove lit. With the embers it should soon start then what do you think I'm going to do?"

Alina laughed. "Later perhaps but I'm going to make us a batch of scones."
"How?"
"Henrick has all the ingredients for cooking, even powered milk and eggs then I'm going to tidy the hut."
