Snow at the Grails Shack

We had some snow today – not enough to sledge in, but enough to make you go “ahh”.

It looks good on the “Grails shack” where I work during the day for my clients and churn out Grails plugins as part of Grails Rocks (what is it? Who knows at the moment) the rest of the time… not including the times when I’m sitting next to my wife in the house working on my laptop instead of being with her, an unfortunate consequence of Grails enthusiasm.

The “shack” is built out of green oak pulled out of a local river, green larch from a local saw mill, cedar roof shingles and some standard pine timber by a local artist called Denius Parsons. I’ve been in it for a year now. I’ve still got to paint the window frames and do some work on the internal floor but… its -2C outside and snowing, and with the killer insulation I need a 400W electric heater on only occasionally. It did the -8C in January without wind/damp fine, felt warmer than today with the -2C and snow.

It’s a lovely place to work, thank you Denius!
