Winter is officially here!

Yes... Pauline just looked out of the bedroom window and announce "The Dabchick is back!" So with the first of our Winter residents in place on the bief, Winter has arrived. More later.............................

It certainly feels like it here. We lit the woodburner this morning for the first time (in the morning)

It's been wintry here for a day or two - in fact we had a sprinkling of snow last weekend. Groan.....

Jean... it has been raining all day.... and meteociel is showing worse for tomorrow!

Update: Saturday morning...
We are currently flooded at this end of the Aigronne... the bief is up two foot from the norm... our neighbours fields are awash, one containing winter wheat, and we have a flooded meadow.
The meter is reading almost an inch of rain for the last twenty-four hours and it is still bucketing down. The plastic guage is over half full... can't read the divisions... I am looking at it with the telescope from indoors... but that's around three inches since last Saturday!
