Keep up to date with the latest at Clare's Organics.February 2010 NewsletterHello to you all. It's Been A Touch ChillyI can hardly believe we are just about into the second month of the year. I think the hard frosts, and then the snow, made everything so difficult for us and everyone else that the time just flew by. The coldest morning just after Christmas was -12c on the Thursday when, unfortunately, I had to get up at 5.30am and catch the chickens for our Notting Hill market - it took me 1/2 an hour to defrost the car, which wasn’t the most pleasant thing to have to do first thing in the morning. Combine that with the fact the heating system in the house isn’t functioning properly (the temperature rarely rising above 14c inside), the heater on both the pick-up and the tractor have packed up (both within the last 3 weeks) and you can see that getting warm is just not happening. A Deserved Break For ClareThings have, all in all, been pretty tough for us over the last few months, what with the cold weather and the resulting amount of work needing to be done. This has meant that we have had very little time to spend away from work so Clare is having a well deserved holiday with 2 of her friends from university. I am left holding the fort whilst she is gone, which is a little lonely, but I am managing to keep the house clean, feed myself and do all of my own washing and ironing. So, who says men can’t look after themselves... Cabin FeverThe birds have certainly enjoyed the last few days of dry weather after contracting a serious case of cabin fever when the snow was on the ground. The only problem is shutting them in at night because they have spent so long not wanting to go out you can’t keep the things in now. Still it’s great to see and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Well that is about it for this month - have a great February.. Best wishes,
