Seems my vitamin C regime for winter has been fooled by a nasty cold.  Yes, lurgy has descended upon our house, even the bassets seem to be sneezing in sympathy.  At least the winter cold has finally arrived and might at least do some good killing off the germs which have no doubt been doing the rounds lately.

We’ve had some beautiful winter’s mornings this week – bright sunshine to bring alive the heavy dews and frosts.  I snapped this with the camera in my phone, it was hard to resist and a welcome distraction from the morning chores. It’s been cold enough to freeze the chicken’s water supply so I’ve been wrapped up warm indoors in front of the fire fighting the bassets for the warmest spot.
