Coldest night so far

I am frozen. I have managed to escape to the library to use the internet and keep warm. We had a heavy frost last night and there was ice on the inside of the living room window of the mobile home! Liam thought there was snow outside and wasn't too disappointed to find out that it was only ice. It was a beautiful picture - blue sun and silver, glistening fields. I suppose that it is winter now!

We have one finished window in the house, complete with brass fixtures. It looks fantastic and I am so proud of Daithi for being able to make it. The wait was well and truly worth it. Now we have to work on getting the others in. Hopefully they shouldn't take so long as we know what to expect now. The only problem is that we have run out of lead for the weights. Daithi has managed to cast 20 out of the 60 we need (4 per window) using lead we sourced from the home place in Wexford, but we have no idea where to get the remaining amount we need. Obviously robbing a church roof isn't an option!

Sorry about the lack of photos recently. I don't have anyway to load them on at the moment. I will edit the last few posts and add them as soon as I can.
