Marmalade

Little raw outside so having a go at making marmalade and there is more marmalade everywhere than in the jars.. but by the time its ready to go in the jars and finished all the shredding and other things you need to do, feeling a little anti-marmalade.

Snusmumriken

There is a character in the moomin books called snufkin, at the end of Finn Family Moomintroll, when
winter comes, snufkin sniffs the air and knows its time
to be travelling south but promises to return in the spring.

Snow

Woke up to snow :)

The adventures of Huxley Joly

Racing at Plumpton cancelled as temperatures dropped to -7.5 overnight, so walked over the fields to Stoneywish (little bit scary) and found this in the papers over a hot cup of coffee http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/columnists/dom-joly/dom-joly-huxleys-brave-new-world-of-robotic-surveillance-1224216.html

Very frosty but no snow

Temperatures may drop to -5 degrees the next few nights, sort of impressive for the South of England, but no snow. Ive been pruning vines and apple trees when the sun melted the frost but the temperatures dropped below zero few hours later.. Tomorrow im taking my calendars to Plumpton race track and hoping...

Wondered if its Venus and Mars so bright in the sky the last few nights.

Found the Timbukto Chronicles - a focus on entrepreneurship, innovation, technology, practical remedies and other self sustaining activities in Africa
