Wow, who turned winter on?

I suspect this is an unfortunate side effect of GoT; if enough people believe Winter is coming, it surely will.



Ahem.


Yes, it is actually wintery here on the Patch, which is highly unusual. We have settled snow, and there was a centimetre of ice - snow over it - in the bucket minipond when I got in from work this afternoon. Afternoon! It keeps refreezing as well, so I fear for the birds. Vast quantities of assorted fat and seeds and worms put out, so if anything's still going [other than the Woodpig which popped up within seconds] hopefully they'll be ok.

Definitely cold weather up country, as a Lapwing was trying to make progress into the wind over the Old St. Marychurch road this afternoon - almost but not quite on Patch, alas. It is a long time since I've seen one this side of the Teign.


In other news, posting should resume after an unfortunate break. Possibly even today..?
