There was enough yesterday to have our local Xmas fair cancelled at the last minute...after we had set up our churches contribution inc Santas Grotto!
So I can put the Red Suit away again until next year! :(
Only frost and ice here now.....

Woke up to a sugar frosting but no more than that.
I can't wait to get some proper stuff this year.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Today was 24 degrees C, the authorities here have called for a special series of prayer for rain next Thursday across the nation.

We would normally expect rain by the end of October, but NONE has fallen since January.

Jordan is the fourth water poorest country in the world and is now actually experiencing a drought which is really beginning to hit hard. No water now means someone will die next summer due to its lack.

we hope for snow in January, and the completion of the new water pipe line from Aqaba in good time.

I miss the snow.

Where on earth do you get those smilies from?;)

Anyways up; I was out again this afternoon, for about three hours and came back with these:

This is looking to the east across the village, incredibly blue sky today;

This is Heavy Gate farm, more or less on the top the hill;

This is a view across the Derwent valley, to Shotley Bridge, Ebchester and far beyond; Weardale.

I now, almost always wear my Muckboots when walking in the wood in autumn/winter.

I was only wearing a single pair of army issue socks inside the boots, I was out at least three hours, in snow often well over a foot deep and never once felt the cold.

On my way home, I passed Chopwell Gate Cottage, a house I'd quite like to live in ( but not the one I'd buy if I won the lottery;))
