Closing our pool for winter has come quite late this year, as the temperatures have still been in the 20’s on some days through October and into early November. But the time finally arrived, as the days near 12°C and the nights fall to almost 0°C.
Once this is done, Brian likes to get all the garden pipes drained and the taps disconnected, so that we don’t have any issues with pipes freezing over winter.
So as not to waste any of the water he was draining away he let it run under the fir tree, which is definitely showing some stress from the dry summer.
