Has winter arrived?

Snow on the Preseli hills, and today we are taking the boat to have the engine made ready for the winter lay up. The central heating is full on in the caravan, and while power walking earlier today we both felt very cold. I know it's only Autumn, but it doesn't feel like it at the moment.


Even this Black Headed Gull seems to be hunching his shoulders against the cold! The weather forecast has just confirmed that we may get some more snow overnight. They have also pointed out that the snow that fell overnight in the south east of England was the first time this has happened in October since 1934! Perhaps we are in for a hard winter. LB.
