Snow, snow

No post today. We are snowed in, Polly and me. I tried to get out this afternoon to see Mum, but had to turn back at Collaster (4th house down the road). Just managed to turn with the aid of the shovel. This is what it looks like on the Hillswick cliffs across St Magnus Bay.And Bousta too ... though the wind and the sea thins it a bit here. Nevermind, Polly and I have the TV and she seems to enjoy the first of the David Attenborough new series ... these are tysties.
It was not staged, she also liked the guillemots and arctic fox (not shown)
It is supposed to thaw by the weekend.

How many spotted they were little auks not guillemots?

Maya and Sage enjoyed those shots of Polly! Hope you have some goodies left in the freezer!

I didn't want to mention the little auks thing, but now that you mention it...

I have to say I'd love to see Bousta snowcovered. The pictures are nice, but they make me want to have feet on the ground there. Makes me want to hang out in the shed, sawing and chopping. I'm a simple man at heart, you know...

felt like we could have had snow here over the last few days. Heat wave in Auckland. Bitter southerly and driving freezing rain in Wellington. Slippers on tis morning but we have got some sun for the first time in a week. Your place looks mighty snug Laughton. Not so snug here as we figured Winter was still 4 months away!!!
