Our neighbour ran out after returning from hospital yesterday, but Bata our local fuel service delivered some the same day. Rather worried about the wild birds, which I am feeding, but the blizzard like conditions are keeping them tucked in somewhere.thelmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934860502828923562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-7627933951451715882018-02-28T15:31:01.102+00:002018-02-28T15:31:01.102+00:00We've always been country dwellers [in one pla...We've always been country dwellers [in one place or another] and the habit of a well-stocked pantry and freezer is part of our life style. We had propane heat in Wyoming with no wood fire backup, and I do recall several times when the gas company wasn't in with a delivery before we ran out. Food for humans and animals we have in store, but being cold is extremely depressing.<br />Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-39547365164567321912018-02-28T07:34:46.659+00:002018-02-28T07:34:46.659+00:00So glad you got your oil in Jennie, the weather fo...So glad you got your oil in Jennie, the weather for Wales starts around Thursday I think.

Next Door has just let his cattle out of winter quarters as the ground is dry for them, so I bet they are wishing they were back indoors again.<br /><br />We went into town yesterday to get some more milk, fresh fruit and veg and extra cat food but no panic buying there - just folk like us, quietly stocking up on extras. In other places it will be different though.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5613585301584630832.post-53427109035606704212018-02-27T12:23:45.859+00:002018-02-27T12:23:45.859+00:00I love to look at a new fallen snow but getting ar...I love to look at a new fallen snow but getting around in it is not as much fun as it was when I was younger.
