Winter is come

5 January 2019

The threatened cold weather has arrived.

 Snowy peaks on our own local mountains

 Snow falls outside the kitchen door

 Frost everywhere

 including the Moringa beds, where the young trees are looking very sad.  We're just hoping that the roots are staying warm enough to survive under their straw heaps 

 But inside the solarium, when the sun shines, we have 23 degrees, so we open the doors into the house to let the warm air in.  We fire up the stove in the evening, for about 5 hours, and that's our only heating, but   the house feels warm and cosy all day, and visitors are impressed.

 Angel meets ice for the first time - and is thrilled!
