Thank you for all your kind comments regarding the cold. It hasn't got any worse, apart from the gas freezing so Scott cooked dinner on the woodburner - a bolognaise lasagne bean type dish. It was one of the best meals I've tasted. And my parents came over with lovely homemade soup and took the laundry away :) It is supposed to get above freezing later this week, thank goodness!
I took myself off for a walk yesterday with the dogs. I slightly regretted it as with the wind it felt like -15 (the weather report did warn me). I shan't be doing that today, but it was beautiful.
^^ Just for future reference. It made -18 here last night. This old house has packed in now. It isn't prepared for this. I think today is the day to get our things and go somewhere warm! ^^
Looks and sounds like you are making lemons out of lemonade over there. Dinner sounds delicious. And YEAH for sweet, helpful parents! :)
ReplyDeleteStay warm!
Oh no Andrea it sounds so very cold there but those meals sound beautiful and warming. I hope things warm up soon. xx
ReplyDeleteoh wow, SO cold, i can't imagine. yes, go somewhere warmer if you can, in the meantime warm some potatoes in the fire to keep your hands warm!
ReplyDeletegood meal and great pictures! you'll look back on all this and be proud you got through it (once you have your central heating right?)... are you all sleeping together to stay warm? sending you some california sunshine!
ReplyDeletehello ! I do not know if I could set foot outside the time by which you ... I prefer to stay warm in my bed with a warm herbal tea and a good book trbon!
ReplyDeletesee you soon!
Hope you are faring ok with the freezingness....
ReplyDeleteAndrea, I am relieved to hear you are doing well over there. I always think with children we feel more fragile in such situations as we generally think of them first.
ReplyDeleteWe awoke to 15cms of snow on Sunday. So far the only thing which has packed in is our washing machine... trying to keep a toddler's clothes clean is a tricky business!
