Early Snow

Just last week it was 22 degrees C and last night we got snow with more to come by the look of the sky. It feels all the colder because of the rapid change. Porridge for breakfast with home made apple compote and our first fire of the year last night.

The animals are hunkering down in warm spots.

With the crazy weather all over the world this year I hope that our winter is relatively normal and 'mild'. Fruit is still on our trees waiting to be picked and many of the autumn chores await completion. Evening fires and the occasional glass of 'red' go someway towards compensating us tho. Compared to others who are freezing and starving, we still feel very blessed.
