Minus 5 this morning here in SW France

 Our under floor heating is very efficient but what a surprise I got when I threw open the curtains to see a world of white. Malc still taking his donkey duties seriously was out well wrapped up, looking a bit like a Michelin Man. The donkeys were shivering in their hut although when they are all bunched in together it must warm them up. The buckets of water were frozen again necessitating trips over with watering cans full of hot water. Fresh clean water as needed as their hay and straw. Rosie was as naughty as usual trying to keep all the hay piles for herself, and she is so dominant all the others defer to her. Malc is enjoying finding ways to trick her so the others get their share.
Before coming in for breakfast he walked Bonny up the road, cold it maybe but it is also beautiful.
