First snow of the year.

[top204]

It is quite a rare event down here in the Fens now, but we have snow, and they are very large chunks. :-)

I do hope they settle, so I can build a snow bear for my Rachel.

We have an open coal fire, so when it is cold and snowy, it is such a lovely thing to see, especially with two of our girls lying in front of it (see attached image). They are Hannah (tabby) and our new addition, Abbie (black and white). Our Chloe is always on the couch, but doesn't like being too close to the open fire.

It's just such a shame that coal is so expensive now, and I am getting too old to cut logs, but it is fun to use my chainsaw. :-)

Hi Les,

yes, keep warm, I just looked out the window and it has started snowing here too!

I have a log splitter which is excellent to make smaller stuff after the chainsaw has done it's work.

We also get logs delivered late summer for winter use from a local sawmill, maybe you could do the same where you are?

Hello,
It's soothing to watch coal or logs burn.
I worked for 18 years in the coal mines in Lorraine (in eastern France). The deepest I went was 1,140 metres. Everything has been closed down in our region for over 20 years now.
Have a nice Sunday.
