First frost

 Its happened

 First hard frost of the new season....a timely reminder that yours truly has not cut enough logs, still has not fitted an internal water tank for when its Harry ice pigs

 and still not worked out how to operate the central heating system.

 But on the plus side it makes the morning patrol a lot of fun

 and make the apprentice's coat easy to find as its now white not green.

Mrs Bear is slowing down though, her time trials up Ben Nevis and the like are now too much for her , two miles is her limit.
