Oh we wish we could have photographed last night's walk. It was so white we didn't need our torches. All the boats in the marina were long white shapes, quietly nestled next to each other, surrounded by flakes bringing more night light and softening all the sound. Magic. It was cold and beautiful. Today, we hear both the slide of snow off the sides of boats and the growth of ice in the middle of the marina. The cut is nearly frozen, though a Dutch Barge shaped narrow boat managed to make the journey north just now. We think that the cabin helped keep the driver warm!
We're heavily into baking and using the oven in these cold days. The oven adds to the warmth of Bella, adding heat to that made by the wonderful solid fuel stove. Yesterday the results were a batch of our own digestives, orange chocolate biscuits and cheese scones (eaten with yummy potato soup). Hmmm. Calories seem to be expended keeping us warm!
