Watching the seasons – Dec 20 (Winter)

A new place always brings a sense of excitement and nothing matches that as seeing the seasons change. Ive tagged this under the “Gardens” section but really it is going to track the general changing seasons here as Glan Gors.

So moving in during the winter was always going to be interesting. As well as the usual worries about a new place i.e. does the heating work! you are not aware of just how hard the winter is? Is it very cold ? do you get a lot of snow? and are the high winds so loud it makes you feel like the roof is coming off and you end up sleeping on the sofa in the lounge the first time it happens (yep that was the first winter in my last place).

So I’ve been here about 4 weeks now and so far I’ve had 3 lots of snow.

Luckily, since moving to North Wales from Bristol, snow has been a regular feature so I’ve always kept a 4×4 as part of my available cars. A little Suzuki Jimny served me well for a good 10 years but when that gave up I treated myself to an old S3 Landrover. A great little work horse if not a little bit thirsty as a petrol!

I’m looking forward to the Spring coming and getting chance to see what already exists in the garden.
