Winter has started

The first heavy frosts this winter in Leyton this week.

I had to go out for two mornings to take in one of the casserole dishes I use as a wildlife (and cat) water dish, leaving it in the conservatory to thaw, and take the other one outside. The third morning I found a huge chunk and fallen from the side of the dish in the conservatory, presumably the frost had found a weakness. Luckily it was mild(ish) that morning and the dish that had spent the night outside wasn't frozen. Though a fox had shat in it again!

I am two thirds through my wood pile and it is only the beginning of December. Luckily I have had some success with rescuing off-cuts from skips. Luckily also, of course, that I have central heating I can afford to run.

One morning I wore some wristies while I ate my breakfast as I needed that extra warmth.
