The 5:17 post

It is now 5:17pm. We have no light or electricity again and it is very cold. We have melted snow to make water for washing up.

Jasper has made a snow igloo/trullo. Maya has made a little red riding hood snowman. Ed has took the snow off the top of the van...there was a lot and it was very, very, heavy. Clare had to push Ed onto the van roof as the ladder wasn't tall enough. Clare is now cooking tea under the light of 2 candles. 

We are now sitting in front of the fire in our sleeping bag. We have 3 and a half logs left for tonight!

And that is it. We have sung campfire songs as we can't see anything or turn anything on. Nearing 48hours now without power. We really would like it back now!

Unbridled joy!! Extreme pleasure! Happiness! The power has just returned! Oh joy!
