Well after such a long dry few months we finally have the rain I have been wishing for. Yippie!! I should be shouting! Now I don't want anyone to think that I only use this blog to have a good ol' moan about things, but now we finally have water, it is not really worth having. It is red with the dust from the fields, undrinkable, makes the clothes dirtier than when they went in to the washing machine, and if you fancy a bath, well you get dirtier getting out of the bugger, than you were on going in.
Anyway, it aint all bad. We got our wood in now ready for the winter, just need to be put into the barn and chopped so it will be ready for when the snow comes.
Had a lovely evening tonight with the wife and children. Started off with the children coming home from school with the weather being a typical November day, wet, grey, cold and windy. Got some fire wood in ready to burn, the children had their tea and played for a while. I started the fire with ready cut wood, which was nice as by the time I have usually cut the wood in to small enough blocks, I am that hot, that the last thing I want then is a fire.
The fire was lit for about a hour, then my wife and the two youngest of our children sat in the candle light with a crystal each and had a lovely meditation session. Then a little later, when the children were all in bed asleep, we both had a glass of Port and listened to the wild wind and the lashing rain outside.
Exactly what I think living on the top of a mountain in the middle of nowhere should be about on a cold November evening!.
