Winter arrives!

We woke up last weekend to a covering of snow, not a common occurrence here on the Gulf Stream warmed west coast of France. However nights have been very cold and we've been thankful for our log fire and radiators. Wood supplies are diminishing fast though!

Tine 'captured' these excellent photos of one of our friendly robins. (Hope you recognise the feeding tray, 'Er from Brittany!)

A natural xylophone or the front of chez nous?

Fingers crossed the olive tree survives these sub-zero temperatures.

Our daffodils are on their way. They're already flowering on some roundabouts in the area.
