    Got called out a couple of times today from people with water treatment plants not working. The first was a farmer that had lost the water supply whilst milking at 7 oclock this morning. Got out there and found the whole system frozen up despite being warned when the plant went in two months ago that he needed to put heating in there. His reply was ' I didn't think it was that cold'! This is the stream running off one of his fields

    Left the farm after thawing the system out, got down the road a bit and came across this one

    Despite the cold the days are beautifully clear at the moment. Actually enjoying working out in it. Three pairs of socks, two pairs of trousers and four top layers on and you hardly notice it.

    Agreed, I work outside most of the time and as long as you tog up, you stay comfortable. Really lovin these cold sunny days I'd rather it be sub zero and dry than a bit warmer and hoofing it down.
    Storms have a way of teaching what nothing else can.
