Let’s hope it doesn’t get too cold there then! We rug up here too, as the fire is our only heating which is usually lit at 5pm, apart from really cold days.

Hi Barbara! I must compliment you for these lovely photos. My favorite has to be the scene from the round window pane. Somehow you made the stormy weather look so inviting… 🙂

Love the pictures – especially the tall orange spikey plant. Winter definitely looks different in your part of the world 🙂
The view from your study looks gorgeous – even with the pouring rain. Stay dry and warm 🙂

Thanks Joanne, we are very cosy and we’re enjoying seeing the the tanks fill with water. The orange plant is Aloe arborescens ‘Variegata’. It is a succulent and very hardy, needing no attention, and no extra water. The children tried to bottle the gel from the leaves as it is supposed to be a healer, good for burns.

Wonderful photos and a wonderful view! The storm isn’t going to reach us, I don’t think – sunny for the rest of the week, temperature low 20s.

I guess there’s a plus and minus to every situation! I do love a good storm, but at least you don’t have to have any heating on. 🙂

No heating in my house (too expensive), just lots of jumpers
