Weather... and stuff..

Well the weather is certainly giving us a few changes at the moment, Friday night, it was howling up at our place, wind , and lashing rain, we often get high winds when the village a klm away gets a breeze, it seems to funnel up the valley to us, and buffets the house really hard. Its noisy, but I like it... if Im not going out that is.. there's nothing better than sitting by the fire or being tucked up snug in bed listening to the wind and rain lashing down... sadly it still seems to end up all over my kitchen floor if we get too much...
Yesterday, it was gorgeous.. after about 10 ish it was T shirt weather... we spent a lovely afternoon wandering in the forest with the dogs and really enjoyed the exercise in the sunshine...
Last night the temps fell drastically as it was a clear night, the first for ages... so it was quite cold.. and as we have no heating upstairs, the hot water bottles were out in force!
This morning the wet is back...we awaoke early to a dry misty morning... and I thought it was going to be lovely again, but then looking across the valley I could see the misty foggy stuff on its way...

It really only takes a few mins at most for the whole valley to be full and you cant see the garden ..

The citrus squeezing goes on and on... we are picking up off the ground around a bucketful every day now.. Ive given tons away, and we are now juicing the rest as much as a small manual juicer and a strong arm can do in one day that is... Im freezing it in those plastic ice cube bags, I looked into the best way to do it and there isnt a no plastic way I can think of... Ice cube trays still have to be emptied into freezer bags for storage, these at least lay flat in the freezer taking up less space especially as we have so many more to come...
It will save us a lot of money on juice during the summer, I'll just pop a few fruit cubes in a glass and cover with either water or Gaseoza and its a cheap fruit drink...
