The weather turned very cold last night, down to an overnight temperature of a few degrees. We awoke to snow on the high peaks around us and an internal caravan temperature of four degrees C.
To say that getting out of the warmth of the quilt was a struggle this morning would be an understatement..
Slowly building supplies are arriving for the next stage of the house build.
We need to block gaps and start the insulating foil on the walls before we start the underfloor heating, but we await more foil, staples and other materials. With any luck everything will arrive in the next week and we can get started.
In the meantime, without a working oven, I’m relying on our local stores to bake delicious, savoury, carb-rich loveliness to keep us motivated in the form of bacon and cheese scones.
We need extra energy in this cold to stay warm and working. I don’t feel guilty at all for the large bowl of tomato soup and two of these beauties warmed and spread with butter for supper.
Soul food.

The photo of your scones is making my mouth water. It has been very wintry here too. We have dipped down below freezing a couple of times. The last of the plants that have hung on thus far are now dead. Time to pull their wilted corpses up this weekend, I suppose.

November can be tough in this part of the world, but you seem to have made good progress with putting the survival kit together. Food is the best form of central heating, but you might want to add cashmere bed socks to your Santa list. Stay safe keep warm!

Thank you! The hot water bottles arrived today and we are doing OK. I know it’s likely to get colder so we have unpacked as many jumpers, thick socks, woolly hats and wrist warmers as we have. We should be fine 👍
