Same weather we are having today yesterday bright and sunny but freezing at night not to far from you as a crow flyes Hrvatska must change my location but we are 600 Mts aslAfternoon folks
Well we were going to have a day out as the forecast was supposed to be good, Wrong
It was cold enough for me to actually wimp out and throw some sticks in the box and apply sparks to get the air temp in the house up.
Cold roast chicken and salad for tea, as its been a pretty non put out day today

But do you have bears and wolfsSo in a nautre park.
Us too.
This is getting creepy.
Wolves yes, I posted a pic of their pawprints in the snow on our raised patio last year, but to see bears would have to go to the Pyrenees about 2 hours away!

This is the need for are defender a good dumping of the white stuff we are the only people out and about
We are only there now April to September, but we used to be there in February and November, times when the village could be closed off. So yep 4x4s rule. And towing 3.5 tonne as well nothing much else would touch it. I once turned our trailer round in at least 1 foot of snow in next door field. Just seemed the simplest way! (Disco 300tdi at the time, TD5 nowadays.)
We do see Fiat Panda 4x4s sometimes. I'd like one.

We were here 10 yrs previously re building the ruins but then back to the UK for 8 yrs doing the same as you traveling but now as I have retired we are here full time and I also say about time for the quality of lifeWe are only there now April to September, but we used to be there in February and November, times when the village could be closed off.

The biggest thing near us, well right next to us, is the wild boar. We live in the Montagne Noire, so cllaed cos the mountains are covered in trees, lots of oaks. so our little village of about 350 souls has enough of them for two hunts.
The bear and wolves were introduced a while back by the tree huggers, much to the consternation of the sheep farmers.
We have a wild cat which we think lives in the land we don't use, a raptor who keeps the bunnies down and an owl who we hardly ever see, but we hear and when we aren't here he uses the pillars of our back covered patio to perch on as he leaves his stuff he regurgitates onthe floor!
Oh and a badger once fell through our swimming pool cover, which was abit thin by then anyway! He got out OK on his own.
Biggest real problem is the deer which eat our veg.
I crept out on them at night and shone a powerful torch at them feom very close up. They scareperd with their hooves banging agains the wood of our raised beds.
Oh and snakes of various types.
Blimey, this turned into a bit of an essay. Sorry about that!!
