Where about are you Angie_redshoes?
The ruddy North Pole I think!!
We are in the NW just outside a Village called Gavrades.. close to Velonades.. in a valley, no neighbours and the snow covered Albanian mountains to the back of the house. It is absoloutely baltic! We have had an inch of frost on the sun loungers! But this is the first year that the pool has frozen over... Oh roll on Spring!

Pool frozen over for the second morning running (Karousades). It's my fault - I distictly remember saying to Julia - "Oh, no - we dont need to worry about winterising the pool - It will never freeze over in Corfu". Famous last words!

Both rivers in Sidari were partly frozen right near the sea this morning, and saw numerous 'leaks' where people have suffered burst pipes... our water only just running again.
It is extremely cold (even I wore a hat early this morning!)- but thank goodness there's no wind - so doesn't actually feel that bad to be out!

Angie - our place is at Termenades, up on the ridge on the Western edge of your valley, so I guess the temperature will be fairly similar there. I do hope my water pipes haven't frozen and burst otherwise I could be in for a pretty hefty water bill when I make my next vist in May!

Sorry Angie - can't afford flower pots - still struggling to finish the house properly.
Wouldn't do you any good though, the valve on my heating system is stuck on hot water, so you couldn't turn the heating on anyway
