Bit more from the ongoing connie bashing job.

Fairly historic footage, surely? Has it not been white for a few days on your manor?

Not at all, from last two days Alex. It's been frosty mornings, dry sunny days but a cold wind. Pretty decent for working in really. Expecting same snow as you today though.

Remarkable. You’re hardly far up the road on a meteorological scale. 
 

 

Melting fast now. Was going to dash out again on skis but drizzle and meh. Fire on. Might have a bath. Best go and smash the geese water again later. Busy day.

Skis? Is there enough near you for that, even by British standards?

Cross country, touring, downhill?

[AHPP]

There was two hours ago. No telling now. I go predominantly sideways. Some old alpine skis, loose/fixed heel bindings and a pair of skins I’ve never needed. I basically walk and glide with poles, can’t remember if I can skate. Sometimes clip the heels in for downs, sometimes don’t.

The Cheviots between us have a big say in these things.

Break from connie bashing this week.

Oak and an Ash dismantled hydraulically, was a busy day but not physical. In the video the section taken was 2.5t.

No Bees were alarmed during the day.

Ahhh, I want a hollow tree filled with comb. I'd love one to convert it into a forever beehive in my garden. Stick a little fairytale-style roof on it.

One day.

For you Peds, you can have it, you'll have to pick it up 7.30am though!
