Winter is back.
Winds rocking the roof, turbine tied up. Coat on weather today.
Post office frustrating as screen not working again, mood in the village tense, got wet walking down and back.
It carried on raining all afternoon, we watched Naked Choir, Ady volunteered to don waterproofs and collect shopping, get post, feed animals, bring in firewood. I found a recipe online for soft rolls, made those and bread, peeled and crinkle cut potatoes for chips, made another 6 jars of jam from brambles picked on the way to and from the shop earlier, labelled them up.
It was getting dark by 6pm, properly dark by 630pm, in a couple of days that will be an hour earlier. Don’t quite feel ready for hibernation and sleepless nights due to wobbling walls just yet, another month would be nice.
My nice rigger boots that I bought planning to see me through all winter are not as waterproof as I hoped, so will need to buy some wellies after all. Poo!
