Plans for a canoe trip have been postponed and Ralph took the car instead of the mtoorbike because snow was lying this morning. It has been coming down in flurries on and off for 2 days but inbetween the sun has shone and it is very hot then.
I walked in the morning yesterday and had to stop to take my fleece and jacket off. I sat on a bench overlooking the Cromdales which are picturesque with their fresh snow lying lightly on the upper slopes. The Cairngorm mountains were not visible at all. I wonder if people are manging to ski. Locals have bought their annual ski pass and used it 3 times this winter! There is still time, we are quite far north after all.
The garden flowers have been battered by the snow. This picture was taken at 2.50pm Sat and shows the sleet laying the daffs low.
I have picked a good crop of rhubarb though and that is stewing ready for our first crumble tonight! Yum.
Ralph is on his training to be a steam engine fireman so should be warm and exercised today.
