December

It might be thought that our long absence from the 'blog world' was due to the previously as mentioned arrival of hot water and relaxation time in the bath tub. Not completely so!
With winter literally on the horizon, the rush to be prepared along with ever decreasing daylight has pushed us to evenings of extreme tiredness and early nights. 
Wood is now correctly piled high, the garden has been weeded and covered over as far as Jana's boggy boots could manage, apples finally all pressed or stored, shutters closed and good night..
