Well, we were starting to think it would never happen, but this week winter has finally arrived.
The weekend was cold, and Sunday morning was dry and cold. First thing, before sunrise, we started on putting the electric fencing up in one of the paddocks ready for the chickens to arrive. We spent ages ensuring everything was working ok, and that the chucks would be fine, we finished rebuilding the run, and prepared it for them to move outside and eat the (now overlong) grass. On Sunday evening, to much protest from the chickens, we put them into their new home.

It's hard to believe that we've been here nearly 6 months, now. The place feels like home and we're really settled.
The last few weeks have seen some cold snaps, but mainly some quite heavy rain. The stream that goes through our land breached the banks and flooded part of the land.

This week has had some bad news. Tazio, our 16 year+ moggie died last Thursday. The diagnosis was kindey failure. The fact he'd been on "mature cat" food for years gave him such a long life, but in the end time caught up with him. He's missed by us, and by the dog who seems to acutely miss being able to tell us when the cat is misbehaving....
The ongoing struggle to get the English car onto Swedish plates continues. My insurance company has given us a three-month "traffic insurance" for the car without a registration plate. Hurrah! The papers were filled in for the Swedish VV, but we only get temporary plates for three months. The first "registration inspection" date they can give us is at the end of March, 4 months away. So, we can drive the car for three months, then we can't drive it to the inspection a month later. Nice. The car is the one thing that is driving me stark raving bonkers.
