This week as you can see, the garden is buried in snow! We were off due to the snow on Monday, but we didn't let the freezing conditions put us off on Wednesday. We assembled a bird feeder pole (indoors where it was warmer).
On Thursday, we put it out (in a temperature of minus 6 degrees centigrade!) 
We also put out a bird table that Miss Swallow made using old bits of wood, slats from an old cot and timbers used to pack the shed when it arrived!! Thanks to keyline for the wood cutoffs. 
Also this week, a parcel arrived for us - seeds for the spring and an "enviromesh" tunnel to protect the brassicas next year. Below, Charlotte and Catriona are trying to get the pack open!
Talking of brassicas - there are lots of brussel sprouts waiting to be harvested under that snow! 
We will have another cookup before Christmas using a recipe with bacon and walnuts too.
