August Snow

And again Christchurch city has closed - snowbound for the second time in a month. It's day two and counting.

We are very grateful for our one remaining wood fire.  The heat pump the Government kindly installed as compensation for having lost three fires (earthquake damaged chimneys) keeps icing over.

Not looking the gift horse in the mouth though...



No al fresco breakfast 


Serious dumping on the rocking horse


New patio in the making - half laid with
salvaged bricks from our chimney stacks

From our bedroom through the
french doors to the veranda

lovely to see your name pop up : ) Keep warm - if not a little shack happy? Kids loving it - but our fire has never been so consistently fed : )

Must remind you of home! Well, on the outside, at least. Frigid NZ houses with no central heating aside...x

I know! I'll take the snow any day.

And schools reopening sometime this week would be good. x
