We all know it's snowing. Compared to much of the country, we feel a little 'seen off', having still only accumulated less than a foot. Seeing this, we had much hope, but today it has melted somewhat. We watch what we can see on Bluebell (our neighbour) and check the depth that way. You can see that the open canal, in the left photo through the mouth of the basin, is still quite frozen and that the basin itself is certainly iced enough to stand on.
Friday, dear Pete was busy. One of the consequences of this freeze is that the water pipes are frozen. Pete spent over an hour with the wheelbarrow and 25ltr container topping up Bella's water tank with 1/3 tonne of water. 17 individual trips from the tap (which took him over 1/2 an hour to thaw) to Bella and back. In between, he was helping Zelda and Wells Fargo crews to fill their tanks. It's all go here! He even managed to find a place to empty the waste cassettes, as the BW waste point was frozen.
