All the water butts have icicles, the ice has forced the stoppers up a little so the water can slowly seep out. The water troughs in the paddock needed de-icing three times during the day and were topped up with hot water at dusk, not sure how long they’ll stay defrosted overnight. Keeping a watering can full of water in the greenhouse for the first water boiling of the day. The donkeys stayed close to their stable, the sheep preferred to stay outside and chew the cud in the frosted grass. Snow in the morning with a raw wind that strengthened in the afternoon.
