i thought it was about time i updated here, so here goes.
it's bloody cold. it has been white here since 17th dec 09, it has snowed on and off and it shows no sign of abating......the river and surrounding countryside is stunning though.
the woodburner is just about keeping us warm enough, god knows what the last batch of wood andy collected was but it's shite. the standpipe is frozen, but our interior pipes have been fine - lots of people ask, 'isn't it cold living on a boat?'.
well, yes, of course it is, if you do not have a source of heat, just the same as if you live in a house with no heating (which we have done). but once the burner is fired up it is really toasty!
the lane from the moorings to the 'main' road ( a B road) is proving to be challenging though, when it is bad we have to leave the car parked at the top of the hill and walk up to it to get to work. we got caught out the first time it snowed and 3 of us couldn't push it up the hill on the packed in snow until a couple of days later after the sun had thawed it all a little.
i'm gonna see now if our crappy little camera can do any justice to the beauty around me at the moment.oh, and i *promise* to blog regularly too.........
