Brrrrr! I know I live in "sunny Spain", but it's got rather chilly here! What's the weather like with you? I'm definitely more of a summer girl!
This cold snap inspired this week's Claire Chats and I hope you enjoy it.
In the video, I mention the "Tales from the Green Valley" documentary and you can watch the series at
www.tudorsociety.com/tales-green-valley-documentary/.
The following video is about surviving winter in the Middle Ages, so earlier, but is still interesting. I know it gets incredibly cold in winter in Russia because my son lives in Moscow and last winter it was -30°C on some days!
