Dear friends, winter has truly arrived on our little estate. A clear night once again and December began covered in frost, a deep cold fog having descended that truth be told has not lifted all day. Ne'er a day felt so wintery for the lamps were lit at three this afternoon as well as that most beautiful of contraptions, the log burner.
Earlier in the day my guardians took the carriage to Exeter for an amble amidst the Christmas market and all manner of merchants selling their wares. The weather was cold but blue sky was evident and my guardians partook of coffee on the quayside and watched the world go by before taking a leisurely drive home through our glorious countryside. On return a light lunch was partaken, whilst the logburner gathered speed to heat the home. I, for my part have directed operations from my sheepskin lined basket, ensuring the correct procedure for the lighting of the fire for this is a most important task now that we have arrived in the winter season. My guardians will ensure it is fed at the appropriate junctures to ensure our continued comfort on this, the first day of winter. We do so hope that you too are suitably prepared.
