So the cottage is very warm and snug. Pretty nippy outside though. Hello Toffeeapple It snowed a bit more in the night. I reckon it will be around for quite a while. Homebase was full of people buying snow shovels yesterday! Hi Dee Yes the snow is good although the side roads around here are pretty treacherous. Happy Christmas to you too and let's hope that 2010 is a really great year. Hi Mary Do you get a lot of snow in France? Hi Paula Danny was stuck in the channel tunnel all night when Eurostar failed. He'll be sipping a whisky when he gets up this evening though! Hi Chris I'm so sorry that you've had bad news on the health front. Thank you for leaving a comment. Hello Rebecca -6 - now that's cold. In the winter I bring the water fountain into the kitchen which makes the whole process easier in the morning. But this afternoon I noticed that the water was freezing in the water fountain after just a few hours. Hi Kate Wow 10" of snow that's far more than us. I went to the village shop to buy some eggs and nearly slipped over between the shop and the car! Hi Joanna

Hello Toffeeapple

It snowed a bit more in the night. I reckon it will be around for quite a while. Homebase was full of people buying snow shovels yesterday!

Hi Dee

Hi Mary

Do you get a lot of snow in France?

Hi Paula

Danny was stuck in the channel tunnel all night when Eurostar failed. He’ll be sipping a whisky when he gets up this evening though!

Hi Chris

I’m so sorry that you’ve had bad news on the health front. Thank you for leaving a comment.

Hello Rebecca

-6 – now that’s cold. In the winter I bring the water fountain into the kitchen which makes the whole process easier in the morning. But this afternoon I noticed that the water was freezing in the water fountain after just a few hours.

Hi Kate

Wow 10″ of snow that’s far more than us. I went to the village shop to buy some eggs and nearly slipped over between the shop and the car!

OK for walking before anyone had gone out, but the roads rapidly became ice rinks and the pavements not much better as the snow had a slushy layer underneath that turned to ice as the day got colder. Gave up on my attempt to reach the post box as I had to cross a steeply sloping ice rink/road that had cars turning circles on it it was so slippy!Back home to make my christmas puddings instead.

We only got a scattering today as it was really too cold. -6 this morning! My chickens were confused by the ice in their water bowl - I had to melt it with water from the kettle.
