Believe it or not we have been working outdoors (though I admit to a part-time presence). Beds and borders have been cleared of last year’s herbaceous growth, climbers have been tied in, fence panels have been repaired, hands have been cwtched into armpits and noses have run constantly.
My brother’s tea froze before he could get the top back on the flask, tools left on the ground have frozen to it and vehicles have had to be defrosted to leave site. It’s been cold.
My Sealskin socks have continued to be fabulous though my addiction to the woodburner in the evening has resulted in a couple of chilblains and I have yet to find a heavy duty moisturiser that will stop my lips and nose from fraying. Not very glamorous admittedly but I’m still not looking for an office job.
