Well yes! Worth posting for once. Weather can be pretty dreadful here in Autumn - like home I suppose. Lot of grey, drizzle... So when we get a bit of weather like this... well - happy days!
There was snow yesterday in Wales I think? Has it all gone? Will no doubt get some weather-related moaning from the lad in Bristol when he gets up. He cycles into a lab each day and we hear about it when he gets cold / wet. It's good for him tho. The youngsters of today... 😀
we had a sprinkling of snow but it didn’t settle here, though it did in other parts of Wales.
What we have today is hail that has settled and now frozen 🥶. Husband wants to crack on with his workshop build but it’s too cold. I’m at the computer with fingerless gloves on and a blanket over my knees.
And blankets...love em! We have a few always on the back of the sofa... But also, being warm...that's nice. Like proper warm. We use a burner a fair bit when it's really cold as we are rural and our in-house heating isn't good enough.
we’re getting through the logs alright. I will have to get in some more before Christmas. We became soft townies…but back to checking fuel supplies again.
My daughter had a squeeze a while back who is estate manager for one of the posh places on the island. Really nice lad. He has an infinite supply of timber - much of it holm oak too, which is environmentally a bit rubbish in our climate, but excellent to burn. Thankfully they're still on good terms so periodically I bung him £50 and he dumps a load of cut to length but not split logs on our drive. Great arrangement for us!
I’m jealous of that chain saw!!! Reckon with the changing climate we will see lots of trees down in future so a bit of handy with a chain saw could make you extremely popular with the neighbours.
yes…. I have a bit of that too. Tho I have a wood store at the front of the house which looks kind of Swiss/Scandi (actually no where near as good as theirs)….but isn’t big enough!!!!
seem to remember that she really was quite friendly - in fact we might stretch to very friendly indeed! Thankfully it wasn’t friendly-with-logs-in-mind at the time…
not when it freezes hard on the ground! I’ve just been out to refill the bird feeders again (eating me out of house and home they are) and it was a bit treacherous.
Back to work wearing all the woollies! Are you venturing forth again later?
😱 I stand one million percent corrected! As it is I was glad I gritted the paths yesterday morning, before it got out of hand. Tell me about it with the birds! I filled the seeds and mealworms up yesterday and they're all gone. Anyone would thing every other neighbour doesn't have a bird feeder in their garden. Greedy little buggers 😡 😂 Aye, I've got choir later on. At least it's only at the end of the road! Keep cosy lovely. Time for some soup 😋
ooh well done remembering to grit. That’s proper grown up. We’re treating ourselves to a bit of heating. It’s hard to keep warm sat in front of a computer. Looking forward to getting the fire going later though. Enjoy your soup 😊.
I'm totes paranoid about slipping on ice and I hate that "oops almost went there!" feeling, so I had the gritting box by the back door days in advance, jic 😂 I'll leave mine on with the pjs warming when I go to choir. Gotta make sure the pipes don't freeze! Oooh, well jelz of the fire. Nothing like it for heating the house. Roll on hometime 🥰 I've resorted to a lap blanket for in front of the laptop. And fingerless gloves 🥶

Good luck with those gloves and laptop!

We had more snow, just long enough to last for the entirety my walk to town 🙄
