For the last week we have enjoyed the company of our friends Bobby and Trevor, sadly, today we had to say farewell to them, as they decided to return home. We have been friends for many years and had many happy times in their company, we will miss them. So, at the moment there is no one here but us frozen chickens. This is our current set up with the frozen brook in the foreground. Today, the weather has given us our first minor problem of the season, the waste outlet froze and so the washing up water would not drain away. Experience has taught me to leave the waste gate open during the cold weather and place a bucket underneath to catch the water, which up until today has worked fine. At 3 o'clock the temperature rose just above freezing for about half an hour and the plug hole began to gurgle, so, problem over. During the recent cold snap, we have been much more fortunate than much of the country, because as you can see, we have had barely any snow. As I sat down to watch some TV at 4pm., I noticed that the temperature was again below freezing. How fitting, that the programme that was on the television was "Frost", like the weather, it was a repeat.
