Winter cometh
Yes its getting colder and we have been busy getting logs delivered and cut and stacked before the weather gets too wintry. We have been lucky the last two years with mild winters but most long term forecasts are indicating a more severe winter this year.
a nice view of a load of stacked logs from inside the boat.
another nice view of a winter sunrise from inside the boat.
this sunrise is also glorious but it just looks cold!
We have changed our routine, with Tes taking Gladys out first thing around 8am . Whilst Tes is out with Gladys I lay and light the fire, and make the tea and breakfast usually porridge. By the time they return there is a glowing fire and hot breakfast ready.
Gladys really loves the fire it is also useful to slow cook casseroles.
We are very cosy on the boat with plenty of fuel and good food so whats not to like.

Hello Terry, Teresa and Gladys
You all look cosy enough although going out at 8am must be shivery even now Teresa. I do hope that the long-term forecast doesn’t eventuate but I am sure you are all made of stern stuff! Here in Oz our long-term forecast is the opposite – a very hot and long summer (yuk). Hopefully you will stay warm and cheery. Best wishes from Bernadette and Henk

Lovely pictures, yes winter is coming to our neck of the woods too. Although it is in the form of rain and more rain right now. Still working on the house wishing we could leave it all and go exploring. Hopefully next year.
Gladys looks lovely and comfortable. Hope you get away to sunny places this winter, take care. Chris and Betsey
