The Best Sort Of Winter Weather

[poliphilo]

Frost on the ground. Clear skies. Sunshine.

I went out this morning to find the horses gathered round the water butts they drink from. The butts were sealed with ice. Not thick ice but too thick for them to break.  I fetched an axe. One of the butts was empty so I switched on the tap to the hose that feeds them- only nothing came through because the hose had split.

We always had to turn off supply to the outside faucets in November because of this, turning them back on when the snow melted in April.
