After a much milder than usual December and January (there was no snow in Bavaria or Austria), we are now having cold, but crisp and sunny weather for the last few days, and we may have some snow overnight!
I am glad we have a nice gas fire in the living room, because with no central heating, it is barely 10 degrees Celsius in the other rooms... brrr... A bit less today as Trave left the bathroom window opened when he left this morning.
We are having an interesting/stressful/exciting/scary time lately, but I won't reveal anything until we know a bit more.
I hope we get some snow tomorrow: although it makes cycling challenging, I love getting up early and going outside when it has snowed. Everything seems so much quieter. It reminds me of Jukkasjärvi and Kiruna. Standing still in the middle of the vast and wild space of the Åbisko Park, all covered with immaculate white snow... unforgettable! The only sounds were from wild animals and the dogs' breath (we travelled on dogs' sledge). Wonderful experience. It was a bit chilly though, even with a thermos bottle full of Glögg! (well, it was empty after a couple of hours spent outside!!!)
