Winter is here!

Sunday 28th October 2012
Who would have thought that this exact time one week ago we were sitting out in T'shirts on decking having a meal in glorious sunshine watching a fantastic sunset beside Lake Cheming and today we are covered in snow with daytime temperatures struggling to get above 2c and night time at minus 7c…brrrrr.

Its good fun though as we have certainly come prepared. Out has come all the winter clothing and we can really test the new winter features of the motorhome. Technology has come along so much since our last big trip in 2005 and the central heating systems they now install are so efficient. It's a blown air system and you can't have it on full as it's too hot!. We topped up with plenty of fresh water as for once the main tank and piping is on board and insulated away from frost so nothing will freeze. The garage area at the back houses the main central heating unit and even the garage is insulated so the whole space acts as a big airing cupboard. Also our beds run over the top of the garage so it's all rather warm and cozy. 

Bradley has adorned his pyjama's for the first time, the look on his face 'do I have to?' as he gets dressed for bed is a picture, but after a few minutes he really feels nice and snug and loves them really.

I forgot my big thick totes so it's off to town soon to try and source a pair. 

Its due to stop snowing tomorrow so we will be off on a walk to the nearby town and then when the weather warms up a little in the week we will plan our trip through the Black Forest towards Luxembourg. 

Auf Wiedersehen
