A Perceptible Interruption of the Laws of Nature?

Why didn't the pipes split and how come the washing machine hasn't died????

It's really weird... We abandoned the caravan a few days ago as our mains water supply froze solid. Exposed water pipes sat in icy puddles so there was no way of stopping them freezing. We had a full watering can frozen solid and 5" of ice in each of the water butts.

Sally and one of my few local friends 'Owl' look on in amazement

Given how cold it has been and from our experiences last year I was expecting to get back and find the caravan with all sorts of pipe damage. Last year Jase and Ange helped us with about 10 different splits, holes and disconnections.

So anyway, everything appears to be fine. We've also bought some pipe insulation from Mole Valley Farmers so I'm hoping the pipes still sat above the ground will be OK from now on?!
