Well, it’s been sub-zero here and we’ve had frosts but this was the first snow which fell late last night, as forecast. Not a lot but enough for Toby to roll around in and lose the ball.

No, Viv hasn’t been speared – just her walking stick with a knob on the end.

Our end of the marina – mainly ice free – the ducks, geese and swans can swim freely here.

trying to copy the same photo taken last year – not quite enough icicles?
I bought 160 kg of coal yesterday – thinking we may get frozen in! I also bought a bag of reconstituted logs – HotMax, only £5.50 for 20kg – give it a go! They do seem to be good and can get the morning dormant fire back to life in 30 mins … any fool can be cold!
