Lincolnshire Colder than Antartica!!

Apparently, with an overnight temperature of -14 degrees last night, Lincolnshire was officially colder than Antartica which was only -10!  At Chaplin House, we managed to keep warm but we did have an issue with frozen pipes which David has worked at valiantly all day to thaw out.  The temperature has not risen above -6.2 all  day so it's not been easy!

What do you think?  Was it the right decision?

It's an oddly therapeutic activity, feeling a bit like storing up goodness for the future. One or two of the trees still have leaves on them, but most of them are now bare. So far, we've filled 24 bags and stored them at the bottom of the garden, there to...

Frozen Jellyfish!! We had a great Christmas break away from Chaplin House B & B and travelled up to Wentbridge House Hotel in Yorkshire. On Christmas Day we went for a magical walk up the Went Valley. The little river was partially frozen over and we came across these ice sculptures which looked all the world like frozen jellyfish. There was such a depth of hoar frost covering everything that it looked as if it had been snowing. The sun caught the ice crystals on the ground and vegetation so the whole landscape was sparkling.
