    Morning all.
    OH says there is proper snow in South Norfolk too!
    There is a glimpse of sunshine here in Dordogne at the moment. I'd better not waste it and get outside to finish sweeping up those leaves I'd started the other day and weed the groundsel out of the troughs around the pool. It's cold though.

    Hi all

    Snow here too, although more like dandruff at the moment.
    Wine delivery today, so hope that gets through. So far it is the only thing we have planned for Christmas, although I have had a mince pie for breakfast.

  • Hello everybody --no snow here just cold and damp and grey although at least for now seems a bit of a break in the rain...hope the blood tests are ok @Dovefromabove . @Pat E that looks like some storm to take that right down . Have a good day all, I'm thinking all these animals that hibernate have the right idea, duvet and hot water bottle sounds very appealing !
    Kindness is always the right choice.
  • Snow here in mid Norfolk too ❄️

    Greetings Forkers.

    Grey here and dull but calmer than last night when the winds got up again and we had heavy rain followed by showers all night.  Bit noisy but quiet now.   More pottering indoors then for me apart from OH taking Sally for her MOT and me having to fetch him back so he doesn't sit around for 2 hours twiddling his thumbs.

    We had a similar tree disaster in storm Alew when we lost our barn roof @Pat E but it just missed the wires so no power cuts.  It did block our road tho so framer Luc went and dealt with it.   Lovely big oak the buzzards liked as an observation post between thermal soaring.

    Cosmos is doing well thank @WonkyWomble.  5 more days of meds to be sure.

    Don't drink it all at once @punkdoc !   I can feel my teeth dissolving at the thought of mince pie for breakfast.

    Hope the bloods are OK @Dovefromabove .  Must be time for mine to be checked but it can wait a while till other stuff is sorted. 

    Stay warm and dry everyone, and safe too.

    I’m really surprised at you all getting snow so far down. Snuggle down everyone.

    That tree is very impressive Obelixx. 😳

    Young for an oak tho @Pat E and probably weakened by recent droughts.  I assume yours was a eucalyptus.  Always a shame to lose mature trees.

    Obelixx, the one in the last photo was a conifer of the main road. 

    We lost the top from one of our Eucalyptus trees in the storm a few days ago. Snapped right off.
