Monday 22nd November: The temperatures have dropped to normal levels now and so I think our run of mild weather is gone for good. I don’t mind a cold dry winter it is much better than a mild wet one 🙄 Even though it is colder the sun was out shining away and eventually it…

Monday 4th January 2021: Having decided we will go to the shop as minimally as possible I am busy ploughing through the freezers, luckily they are full of all kinds of things especially veg and fruit, what we don’t buy I can make, bread, biscuits, cakes, pies, yep we are pretty sorted and to be…

Rain, snow & sunshine all in the same week🙄
Monday 11th Nov: On the 11th hour of the 11th Day in the 11th month We will remember them. It’s another cold November day, it rained heavily overnight again but this morning the ‘lake’ has shrunk, it disappears quickly it’s just a case of too much volume too fast and it collects at a low…
