I’m so tired of that everlasting wind.

I took these photos yesterday when we were lucky to have sunshine on our morning walk. We had a really spectacular sunrise this morning just before the clouds covered that gap in the sky. I was a bit surprised about it since they guessed we would have clouds covering the sky all day. They sort […]

Well I didn’t expect that would happen.

  So I left the cottage to release another mouse from the box trap before having the morning walk with the dogs.  I was a bit later than usual, around nine am even though I had been up since before six am just because it still was so cold after the night and a cold […]

Before the storm arrives.

  It was windy already when I woke up this morning and it has kept on all day but now it’ll calm down during the night just to grow up to be a storm hitting us hard tomorrow afternoon/ night. The storm called Dave is at the moment hitting the British Isles so it’ll be […]

Chilly nights.

  We’ve had two really nice days here, mostly sunny and up to 13C (55,4F). We did have a chilly wind yesterday but as usually it didn’t reach my garden 🙂 Nights have been cold though and water surfaces have been frozen when we’ve passed them on our morning walks. No more moose sightings but […]

A really nice day.

  A bit grey and dull this morning but rather warm again, warm in this case means 6C (42,8F). If there was any wind I didn’t feel it, not in the garden not in the forest where we had our morning walk. They had guessed the sun would show itself before noon so I waited […]

Rather nice weather.

    We’ve had a rather varied weather today, grey and dull, sunshine, rain and misty rain but who cares when it is getting warmer 🙂 Geese are passing by, I heard the Blackbird sing for the first time this year and Larks are high up in the air singing that they are the best […]

More snow but it’s melting away :-)

  It has been slightly less cold today than they guessed it would be 3C (37,4F) but the three to four inch of new snow we had last night melts away a bit too slowly for my taste. I must admit though that I wasn’t as annoyed about this snow than I would have been […]

Finally :-)

  Finally! It has been above 0C (32F) for almost all day and still is even though the sun is long gone. It was 4C (39,2F) as warmest and I’ve enjoyed every second of it 🙂 I’ve also collected melt water for both my plants and aquarium. The rain water barrels are still deep frozen […]

Wildlife a bit too close.

  So another cold night and morning. We did actually have some sunshine even though it shone through thin clouds. We managed to have the beginning of our morning walk while it was calm but the closer we came to home the more the wind started to blow.  We neither heard or saw any animals […]

Well it is winter.

  A rather grey and dull day today but thankfully just a weak wind blowing from east. I can’t remember when the wind came from east for this long in my life. Usually we get western winds from the ocean here and that’s when I don’t notice them at all here in the garden 🙂 […]

And then it blows some more.

  I keep telling myself that at least the electricity will be on the less expensive side but it doesn’t help any more 🙂 🙂 I guess I would mind less if the wind at least changed direction so it doesn’t reach my home but it will mostly stay the same with the exception of […]

A nice visitor :-)

  Windy and cold all day but I did see a little patch of blue sky when we went out on our morning walk. I had been to the supermarket before we went out though to buy yeast. I tried baking soda bread but I’m never good at it, plus don’t eat too much soda […]
