In the bleak midwinter

Well the expected thaw seems to have passed us by completely.

It's -2 outside 22c in the living room here where i am tasked with  keeping the conflagration going on the wood stove. Our Breton firelogs are a huge success, they really give a high speed blast of heat and then keep on delivering heat for about 11/2 hours - unless you turn the fire down.

The night rolls on the weather rolls in the heat goes up.

To make the feel a bit more festive, we have muled a bottle of vin rouge with a mixture of spices and fruits. The warm red makes a nice change from my  more usual chilled white 

I could get used to this way of winter life, if I didn't have to get up and go out in the morning!!
