Two weeks to Christmas twenty two
The season of goodwill
But lo there came a sudden frost
And frosty’s coming still.

I can’t deny it’s beauty
As I gaze out from within
Nature with a frosty fringe
And shrubs wrapped in white skin.

But yea I have a problem
I’ll tell ye all about
Whilst I admire things from within
Our Christmas tree’s without.

It’s been out there a week right now
In a bucket of water
Preventing early needle-drop
Something I thought I oughta.

But at nought degrees
Did the water freeze
Around the tree
Unfortunately...

“Oh, bucket!!”

    No sign of a thaw up north.

    Minus 5 degrees C and lower in my part of Hertfordshire right now Brian... but on Sunday it’s apparently going to be +9 degrees. Not sure I’ll be able to stand the thermal shock! Keeping busy rather than veg-ing in front of the TV seems to work for us in withstanding the cold.🥶
