Hi Ben. We've been lucky here in my little town, which is a badin by the river. We didn't get snow, but a lot of France did! Chaos! Today's bright and sunny, but the wind is very scary. I'll have to watch my pots and hanging baskets (full of my hand painted synthetic flowers from the cemetery's bins!) ... I have pruned my lilacs because they were leggy and scraggy. I simply cut them back to the nearest shoots. You can't kill them by the way, the little beggars breed like rabbits! There'll be babies everywhere! Still eating from the garden, carrots, leeks, curly kale, sprouts, hot peppers and capsicums. The freezers are full. I have jars of ratatouille , tomato sauce and concentrate. 10°C is warm to me after all my cold therapy and it's even higher so far today at 14°C! Have a great piratey week. I'm driving to Berlin on the 6/7th. Wish me luck!
Sara! It sounds like you are all ready for a winter. I bet it's all delicious. Winter tomatoes are just bottled sunshine. Yum! Good luck on the drive to Berlin, and please say hi to all who know me :)
Congrats on hitting the 50 mark - that seems like a small number, but it is something to build on... I shall continue helping you promote...
New Year's at The Barracks sounds like something fun...but also really, really cold (I suspect)...
Thank you! It's cold, but it's a good cold :)

We were wondering if you're going to be in Berlin at some point?
No plans at the minute. Maybe in the Spring?
