Another cracking frost.

Like so many places the big freeze has continued for the last few mornings with the temperature lowering to about -6 C degrees overnight , leaving us with a cracking frost...
Some shady parts of the garden  haven't defrosted since Saturday, white crunchy lawn, and there was this slab of ice which froze to over 4cm thick in an icecream container... 
                        
Meanwhile lovely sunny days are following each frosty morning, perfect for warming the house but not so nice if you are outside in the cold air.
Mum's rug continues to grow..I've completed 9 colour changes so far..I'm really enjoying working on this and it gives my eyes a rest from other stitching.

  2. Nippy here too, about -3.3C this morning, and some parts in the shade barely thaw before the sun goes down. I look at favourite places on " Accuweather" which gives the temp.,and also the "real feel" depending on wind chill. Hang in there, we are into the second half of the year, but as we know, that's when it is a whole lot colder. Lovely colours in the blanket.
