A frosty start to 2010 focuses my mind as always on the small holding and how the plants are surviving the freeze - no badly as it happens the greenhouse has hit a plus 7degree minimum but the tomato plants are hanging on in there and the poly tunnel has stayed above freezing (just) and the tender plants (salads etc) are still ok. The weather also makes me think about our energy supplies; our wood store is holding up well tho we are using a lot more just now with the central heating wood stove and the wood fired cooker being on all the time. On the world energy front have a look at www.theoildrum.com for interesting analysis and particularly at http://tinyurl.com/ylfomqd for a good page using 'The Matrix' (great film) as a prop.
Keep warm and have fun in 2010
Chris
