Title: Bloody snow arrived today
Post by: tizaala on December 19, 2013, 02:47:09 pm: Our winter has started , -3 deg C this morning but bright enough . Took my old ex Ricebox trailer to fetch 2 hestons of hay and 1 of straw, got it home and had the choice of leaving it on the trailer and covering it up or stacking it above the stables, we chose the latter, so cut the strings and I passed it slice by slice up to Gabi, By the time we had finished it was lashing down with rain so we both got soaked through , got indoors to find the woodburner had gone out, re-lit and looked out of the window ----it is now snowing as if it means it, Just what we needed. :rant:

Shortest day on Saturday - then roll on Spring ;D
