The school has been closed by the weather for two days and we are getting very low on wood and food. A power cut now would leave us very cold and hungry. We had a power cut on Saturday which meant writing christmas cards by candlelight - which was quaint but things is getting serious now.

Our nearest met office weather station recorded -9C at 8am this morning. Fortunately it's now (11am) warmed up to minus 8C. But of course it is warmer here cos we're nearer the coast - but still cold. The water hasn't frozen in the house yet - but the outside tap has frozen - so the morning and evening goat chores are very hard. Buckets of water meant for the goats are snatched by jack frost of you're not nimble enough.

Our gas bottle has frozen, so we can't warm up the soup! Pretty though innit? Lynda
Brrr. Quite glad to be using someone else's heating over the next few days! Hope the lights stay on...
WoW! I've still got readers. How lovely to hear from you both.
But Lynda - gawwdawmighty that sounds grim - I mean that's tears in the eyes stuff that is.
And Sally - don't forget to sod the environment and leave the heating on while you're away - you really don't want to come back to a frozen wet house!
Don't worry, we have, although it pained me to do so
