The snow has been falling steadily, and with it the temperature outside.
We took the decision to move into the bedroom in the house rather than suffer more sub zero mornings in the caravan. The trouble with starting the morning cold is that you never seem to fully warm up as the day progresses.
So, last night we made up the bed in the house and had our first night in residence. Many of the rooms are still a building site, but we have a working toilet, kitchen and heating system. It was enough. Fizz was of course opened amongst the woodworking tools in celebration.
We awoke this morning to find the fakro roof windows covered in snow. As the sun broke through the clouds this melted and slowly slid off to show our first morning view from our bedroom.
It’s continued snowing as the day has progressed, and I captured a few shots of the caravan slowly being buried in the white from one of the house windows. I confess to being glad to be out of there in this weather.
When I popped out this morning to pick up plates and a few more supplies from the caravan it already felt cold and empty.
Skirting boards and sills are still going in and we are trying our best to get enough of the basics sorted for the clan and their animal assemblage to descend next week for Christmas!
I have no idea how we’ll manage that, but to be honest it will just be fabulous to have them all gathered under one roof again after many years of not being able to be together.
