winters walk

[milius2]

Hi there,
the winter was very mild this year and it only been snowing last week, maybe a month later then usual. So I went for a walk to my property to have a look at the building and what nature is about and here is some pictures you might want see:


On my way I had to pass a local woodland. It's not big, but pleasant to look at and gives some firewood from time to time.

And on the other side of it I can see my property in the distance, a pleasant feeling to look at what you've done over the last season.

Windows covered with plastic, glass coming up next year.

The small pond

Plant nursery looking good, no rabits ar deer went over the willow fence and plants are undisturbed. Very glad.

Storage shed

Can't wait to get the windows in and a fireplace so I could sit indoors and wach the snow fall.......

Garden looks good, the bone sauce repelent worked well and noone is biting the poor trees. Although I should get better sticks and better rope installed for the supports.

Makeshift door with some wool rug perfetct fit with cob

After waching over the house I went to the big pond at the other end of my fathers property where a party was gathering for some winters fun:

And finally I could take a shot of a fireplace in it's winter coat.

Hope you like my winter shots and my homestead.

Excellent stuff, Andy.
I bet the fireplace in the snow will look even better with a merry blaze and smiling faces.

It must be a very nice feeling indeed to see what you've done like that, and to think about what comes next. The last picture is really evocative, looks like something from a nice dream, which I suppose it is.....

fireplace got action today, traditional meat skewers and some deep fried potatoe wedges..




Maracoon, yes, I think the best part of my projects is that after I'm done there is something I can go back to and enjoy, when the sweat and tears dry there is something left behind! I could not see a lot of that in a flat

I'll guess that food never tasted better than done over your fire in your fireplace.
That was my first thought: I want to cook in that one!
Thank you for the pictures.
Total snowfall here in the valley just 2.3m. Another 60-70cm expected over the next
2-3 days. Want some?

What a great bit of land you have, and it is nice to see all your hard work coming together.
