Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
Ciggy and a brew under a tree in the garden is the best I get.... just did that and its better than watching the drivel that is on the telly
Always been jealous of those films where you see the American houses with the big porches at the front... can just imagine sitting in a nice rocking chair having a smoke, drinking my brew and watching the world go by.... I think I might have just envisaged my perfect retirement plan!
My old favourite morning routine was when I lived in Crail. I lived right on the front and had to clean the salt off of my front windows after a blowy day.
Used to sit on the rocks with the water lapping at my feet with a coffee looking at the id floats of my creels that I could wade out to at low tide. Very relaxing; the smell of the salt, the gentle breeze, fresh brewed cup of Joe and the prospect of fresh caught lobster for tea that night. Didn't really get much better for me.

Warm this morning. I've been collecting leaves most of this week, took on a new contract(manor house so big lawns) where the grass hasn't been cut since September & its covered in leaves, Friday I had a pile 3ft high 6ft wide & 30ft long, that is after moving 15 one tonne bags of leaves, I'm hoping that when I go back the wind will of been my friend & "disbursed" them, as I'm struggling with what to do with them all, will probably try shredding them for compost.

There's a lot to be said for a rainy day at the beach. watching from under a cabana roof. Desert rain can be just as rewarding.
It took a while, but at last! freezing by midnight supposedly, it sure is pretty nippy now 
Bought a nice double breasted overcoat a few months back and havn't had a chance to wear it
Duoble edged sword. I have no insulation or heating and my window doesn't close properly, so a draft over my headboard. It's going to be a cold nights sleep! Not sure if the 3 tog is going to be enough this winter.

Yup no heating here either.
When I lived in a van while doing research used wake up with my beard all iced up. Had to take a blow lamp to the gas cylinder in the morning to get the stove to light.

I'll see your Jokkmukk, and raise you with Tromso (70 N) in January, out all night taking photos of the aurora
Still, it was nice in the hotel, and the flasks of hot chocolate were nice to take with us too, heh heh....

It is a very, very slim chanse you will ever get -22 degrees Celsius in Tromsø.
Coldest temp ever recorded is -18.4 degrees Celsius.
I know, I`m a nitpick.
And it is currently about 5 degrees and rain in my part of the world.
