Late yesterday evening it started snowing and whilst I was busy making our evening meal there was just enough light left outside for Mrs "stuff to do" to pop out and take a few photos on her, go anywhere, do everything with a few bells and whistles, mobile phone. The results of which are here
Don't ask me why, but Blogger doesn't want to let me put two pictures side by side so we will have to put up with what we have got. (a bit of a pig's ear)
You may or may not be thinking to yourself that it doesn't snow in south west France and generally you would be correct, HOWEVER, it does get cold in winter. We've been here now for over 20 years and we do get snow, not very often, but it is havoc when it happens as we don't seem to have any gritters or snowploughs and everything comes to a slippery grinding halt. The hill in front of our house is steep and bendy and can be impossible for some cars even in the summer.
Temperatures have been down to minus 20degC with our water pipes frozen for days on end, but as an avid gardener that's good as it kills off all the little buggers lurking in the soil. Seasonality is something I embrace whole heartily and I do intend to make it a topic in another post soon. (I bet you can't wait, can you?)
Look after yourselves till next time.
