I'm not sure the chickens agreed with me though. They don't like the ice and the frost. And their water hopper froze :-S (We've bought another one so that there is at least one unfrozen hopper on the go!!) But they were quite happy with the warmed vegetable peelings or bread soaked in hot water that were on offer during the cold snap.
Sometimes where we live is beautiful in the winter, especially when the sun, which is low in the sky in January, catches the trees and hills as it passes by

We were scheduled to open Bishops' House on Saturday. I have to say I wasn't really expecting many visitors, if indeed any visitors. But I announced on Facebook that we were going and we took books and my laptop and the makings of tea and sandwiches. It was a stunning morning in Meersbrook Park, but most of the people out walking were with their dogs and they don't tend to come in.
My Facebook announcement drew out our friend Alex and his not quite 2 year old son. Neither of them had ever been inside and they only live around the corner! We were visited by someone wanting to know where the Weston Park Museum was (I felt that respondiong with: In Weston Park might not be entirely helpful!!!!!). His sat nav had brought him to us, instead. This seemed a bit strange - until when consulting my Very Useful Laptop, I discovered that the top entry on Google gave our address and post code and not the one that Weston Park actually has!!! And then we had a group of Greek people come to visit us. That was very exciting. We don't get many international visitors in the winter :-) Plus there were a couple of random people who popped in. And then suddenly it was time to hand the house over to the afternoon volunteers and go home
