A Hard Winter

RE: A Hard Winter
Our area has the highest sunshine record in mainland Scotland (not saying much, I know!), second only to Tiree apparently. We're in a rain-shadow, apparently. However, point taken. Water doesn't figure too critically in my personal preps, apart from rainwater capture. We have a 2000 litre garden pond that we can run through the Katadyne if push comes to shove.

To be fair, the scenario was aimed at a generic UK audience, so water should figure (especially if you're in East Anglia).
p.s. Had my porridge in the garden this morning. Not bad for mid-November at 58 degrees north. Global warming? Just hard? Or just stupid? Answers on a postcard...
Find a resilient place and way to live, then sit back and watch a momentous period in history unfold.
