The English Paysanne

A moment from the week at La Singlarie A covering of snow with a couple of days of frozen pig pipes and now sunny and 20 degrees, bonkers weather this week.

It has been snowing on and off today with some big fluffy flakes and some tiny ones. With frozen water pipes the only good thing about it is the white covering it gives over the mud! More is on the way tonight and due tomorrow -yippee it may be a day of knitting.

A moment from the week at La Singlarie A little flutter of snow

When I took the dogs for the late walk up the road last night sleet was starting to fall. This morning the first flurry of snow laid on the ground minus 2 degrees it felt cold. I think the animals were a little shocked, hay has been given to keep the sheep and donkeys happy, the pigs will stay in there huts and the dogs are waiting for the fire to be lite. Cows are not bothered by snow, their winter coats are growing and as long as they get there hay they just 'get on  with it'. I am so glad I have my neoprene Aigle wellies  to keep my toes warm if only I could find some gloves to keep fingers toasty while feeding the animals. By the time animals were feed the sun came out for a bit with blue sky. It soon went in again, the sky is grey and the weather forecast is for snow tonight - what fun.
