Winter fun

On a VERY cold Sunday night ....well winters finally struck ,a few good hard frosts and a LITTLE snow ,much more in Dunedin ,but enough ice to play with and enough snow to feel good about sitting in front of the open fire reading ,I love it .Here are a few shots of the ice artwork that we made ,fairly basic ,but good fun .I hope that all you out there are warm and comfortable ,if you want a beautiful and cheerful movie to watch get "Pride and Prejudice [Kera Keightly]warm and fuzzy with amazing country scenes . Cheers

New bluebell woods

Evening all ....pleasant days at the moment ,cold mornings ,slow starts ,but then as the day warms up I have been clearing under trees and planting more bluebells ,very satisfying .Then getting a big open fire going and reading in the evening.Life is good !

Cambrian stream

"Evening" the snow came ,and the snow went ,who knows where we are ? Here's a few different shots of the Cambrian Common Forest ,I am pottering along clearing the stream to make a little track ,helped mightily by my WWOOFers . PS my Facebook page has miniaturized itself ...any suggestions apart from shrinking myself ??

False start to winter

Hi All ...It's a very wet and cold Sat. afternoon ,I've got a Frenchman staying [Julian] and we've got lots of work done cutting broom and burning it ,things are really moving at the moment and augers well for the spring .We had a covering of snow yesterday but it's all gone now .This morning as the sun rose over the Hawkdun mountains it had 3 minutes of shining through onto a grey background it was most impressive I'm not sure that I have done it justice on the photos .My neighbour Grahame took the one of the Hawkduns from his house . Here are a few shots from the last couple of days . Keep warm ...
