It's getting warmer!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy back with you again.

You know its wonderful, it's getting warmer!

You know, this morning when we went out to the car it was just minus three degrees, a whole degree warmer than yesterday, great news, Spring is on its way!

Well, sort of.

The Winter solstice 2022 in Northern Hemisphere (where we are) will be at 21:47 on Wednesday, 21 December. So, come the 22nd we are downhill to Spring, then after that Summer holidays!

Mind you, it's still blooming cold here!

 
-3 and counting!



 
 
 Of course, there are always the fishermen who want to plod around in the mud!
 
 
 'ere Fred, have a look at me worms!
 I prefered to stay on dry land, even if it was a little cold, at least the sun was warm up here on top of the hill!
 
 
 Me in my nice warm jacket!
 
 Seems no matter where we go there is always frost on the plants, roll on Spring!
 
 
 

 Frosty!

At the end of the path leading to the car, there is a Robin who always chirrups at us saying that it is his territory and we should clear off. 

Today OTL managed to get a shot of him poking his head out of the brambles, just like a Robin should!

 

Not bad for a shot taken quickly as the bird poked it's head out of the brambles!

Maybe we will see him again tomorrow!
 
By for now.
 
Luv,
 
Daisy

Minus five degrees and freezing!

Hello Woofers!

Daisy here!

What a day, what a night!

Yesterday The Missus and Old Two Legs changed the bedding and instead of cotton sheet and duvet cover they installed a Yorkshire Teddy Fleece duvet cover and a Flannelette Sheet.

That means when we go to bed, the bed sheet doesn't freeze your butt off!

OTL used to get in bed during the summer and say that the sheets were 'Cool' but when the temprature outside is minus five his description is Blinking Freezing!

It doesn't help with TM insisting of sleeping with the window open!

We were up a whole half an hour late this morning 'cos OTL was enjoying the new warmth of the sheets!

Finally we got down to the sea wall and there was a sunrise glowing behind the Two Trees, so that was worth a snap!

OK, Two Trees and a bench 'cos the poo bin is still in bed!

We met up with a new woofer on the walk, goes by the name of Carla, she was a little nervious and kept dancing around but she will come around in time.

 Me Carla, wot's your name?

 I stayed back up the hill, new woofers make me nervous!

The sunrise wasn't the big sky full of glowing clouds and sun but it was worth a couple of snaps and anyway, we didn't want to hang about cos it was too cold!


I wonder if the worms are cold?

I like this one 'cos you can see more colour in the sky and the reflection on the mud flats.

TM said she could make a card from this one!

 Just before going over the hill and down onto the meadow a ship passed by, heading off to do a day’s work dredging up the shingle from the banks in the estuary.

 Off to work skipper!

There were noises coming from Sheerness, sounds like they were throwing metal around!

If you forget the noise, it's not a bad reflection shot!

 When we went out at lunchtime, the gauge in the car still read minus five degrees but when we got down to the sea wall it had climbed up to a blistering one degree below freezing!

 This afternoon has been spent snoozing in front of the TV and cuddled up on OTL's lap.

A good place to snooze!

See you tomorrow.

Luv,

Daisy.
