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.

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.

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.

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.....:)

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! :D 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?
