It's Spring Again !!!!

Life's a matter of degrees, and NOT the academic kind . Last week the WWOOFers bedroom was at -3 degrees ,the kitchen was 7 degrees and the lowest was -10 degrees ,but most of the time the sun shone and the wind didn't breathe and it was reasonably comfortable ,definitely beautiful. Today it is positively tropical 12 degrees ,all the water is flowing ,all the snow has gone ,and it's VERY comfortable. Two weeks hardship makes for 50 weeks of pleasure ,must be a message there somewhere .

The photos are of my neighbours grandchildren ,the WWOOFer trimming up the old willow tree and the first snowdrops of the year !

                
                                    Time to "sing again "              
                                                              cheers 

Fire and Ice in Central

Beautiful day today ,great hoar frost and then great bon-fire .WWOOFer and I made a pair of felt slippers this afternoon [I'm getting cold feet !] Hopefully the thaw will start tomorrow ,but enjoying it all the same .

          If you get the chance watch a doco called "Gasland" it's about fracking  in America for natural gas ,You won't believe what you see ,watch it !

Getting colder

A most amazing trip to Alexandra today ,in and out of hoar frost all the way ,what amazing scenery .Had to go to the baths for a shower ,no water in Cambrian!...Bottom photos are of my German WWOOFer giving a fire-stick display beside a small bon-fire ...Keep warm all ..xx

Test run 2

Blogger has changed its format and I'm not sure that my machine ,or myself,can keep up ,but knowing that we are all creatures of habit ,I am loath to change it .However I am experimenting with Tumblr to see if it is more user friendly . What would be handy is a little feedback ,either through e-mail or facebook ,I haven't worked out if Tumblr has a comment facility .  I like the IDEA of the blog, and know that quite a few of you look at it occasionally but it would be good to see how many did ,to keep up my enthusiasm .
           So I'm going to post this one ,with photos,and then do exactly the same on Tumblr,this is the tumblr address .........http://ldeberrybob.tumblr.com/......if you like it just copy it on to your "favourites"
and let me know  [please].   Very cold here at the moment ,as the photos show ,but not uncomfortable .This big pond is just up the road .Hope that you are all well and happy ...cheers  Bob ....xx

Hello everyone! Due to having many technical difficulties with blogger.com I am changing my blog to a tumblr account. This can be found at http://ldeberrybob.tumblr.com/ . Hopefully this will be a better place to share photos with you and everyone can stay up to date. Wishing you warm greetings from Cambrian, Bob.

I'm having great difficulty with this blog site ,if it doesn't work tonight I am going to change it !!

More Ice !!

This blog site is going to the pack ,I'll try it once more but if it doesn'

t work then I'm going to look for an alternative ...Wish me luck ,

Jack frost

Well we're getting some real frosts at the moment ,-8 or thereabouts last night and the night before and the same again tonight with the addition of a gloriously large and bright moon .The water pipes didn't start to work until midday .[for some reason or other this machine decides to go to small print when I'm not looking !!!] Having a good time having bonfires at the moment ,it's a great combination ,cold days and hot fires !!
