The state of the economy has finally taken it’s toll on us at work as we have now gone a four day week. The good thing about...

I have just been out filling up the feeders and boy, is it getting cold again.
It has been a good day here in North Yorkshire with temperatures reaching 14 degrees but it is getting realy cold again with aclear sky it looks like another sharp frost tonight. "Roll on spring time".
