The Met Office is threatening that the entire south of England will be blanketed by thick snow by this time tomorrow, but I think they're being a little dramatic.

Then again I did an emergency shop today, and at least some of the heating here is off-grid, so I'm ready for almost anything, as long as it doesn't last more than a week or so.

here it's raining at medium strength, and the snow is melting, so every brook and stream is coursing copiously.

snow still here and there, but going pretty fast.

we'll be ok unless it all freezes hard.

it's more about keeping the air in the house dry than fighting the cold.

i'll be really surprised if i hear people whinge about lack of water this summer, the reservoirs must be brimming, and winter only half over. snow and insistent rain act more permeatively than hard rains, the whole hill and woods feel pregnant with humidity.

drip, drip, drip... another system heading our way, somewhat milder though, wheew.

just pulled a loaf of bread out of the oven, spelt flour with millet flakes, smells good.

going to bake a (homegrown) pumpkin tart later, with cinnamon and raisins, yum.

first some yoga, then dinner, a hot bath, and back to tele-blogging.

dreaming of spring...
