Thick fur coat

I love this cold, frosty, bright weather, as long as the roads remain ice-free. It’s so lovely to walk on the crisp and crunchy ground, compared to slipping and sinking into mud. Bertie is certainly dressed appropriately with his dense furry coat which seems to get thicker by the day.
Surprisingly, this evening we had a power cut for over an hour before the electricity came back on for about fifteen minutes, followed by another fifteen minutes in the candlelight. All seems to be well now but it was strange for this to happen on such a calm evening.
