Is winter here?

The trees around the house are still quite autumnal looking with a lot of lovely colours. However we had the first snow a couple of days ago and it has been pretty cold. It only just settled in the garden, but just above us at Labassère it settled more convincingly

Doug was busy grinding as I went around checking all the animals seemed to be warm enough. I also let the water out of an extra pipe we have added to the pump with the intention of getting water up to the higher fields. Doug who installed the pipe, gave me detailed instructions on what he wanted doing, but failed to mention the tap was on. I separated two parts of the pipe as instructed and was drenched in a tidal wave. How not to make your wife happy...

It's an alien!

We drove up to La Mongie (the ski area) today to see how the snow up there is going. There is a webcam, but we fancied seeing it in person and having a nice walk too. Poppy had fun in the snow as always.
