...just over night!
After a sudden Siberian cold during the week with a nasty freezing wind, coming from the East,
whistling through every tiny cracks in the old lime stone walls throughout the whole house.
Temperature dropped from 16 degrees plus last Sunday to minus 9 degrees on Tuesday!
Brrr...!!!!
Although we have central heating, our house was - and somewhat still is - like an ice box.
Because of the open rooms and partly open right up to the roof, high ceilings,
old doors and windows, it is impossible to heat every corner in a 200 year old house.

We are dressed "nach dem Zwiebelprinzip" - using the onion layer principle!
No chance for any proper desk work, not to mention typing with stiff fingers!
So, I'm busy with cooking chicken soup and boullion, boullion, boullion.....!
Nothing better than an old-fashion home made hot soup on cold winter days!
Only 10 days ago I was dreaming of a white winter - here we are!
Everything is wonderfully hushed with the deeps of the snow absorbing all sounds,
also the snow on the roof providing additional insulation.
With the wind having dropped it keeps on gently snowing and it feels less freezing!
Finally - A white winter!
Finally - A white winter!
But now - I'm waiting for blue sky and sun!
It would just look so much more friendly and beautiful.

Bonne Dimanche!
