The Start of a Snowy Season

I woke up this morning to the sound of a snow plough going up and down the driveway. Turns out we had 4mm of snow last night. This was what it looked like at Wilbrod House.










Here in this photo, you can see it is snowing lightly outside Wilbrod House.

Earlier, I was outside shovelling snow, making snowballs, and generally enjoying the snow, because it's still a novelty to me. :)

Thank goodness the broken heater in the House was fixed ... It started to snow gently when the workmen were fixing the heating system in the boiler room in the basement last night, and there I was, desperately hoping for heating after going 5 days without heating or hot water in the House. It was enough to make me realise how hard it is to go without heating in winter. I have to say this experience made us learn not to take the mod cons for granted.
