Winter is loath to loose its grip, with a hard frost in the early part of last night followed by a steady dump of snow, so we woke to a transformed landscape. By the time we were out there was somewhere over an inch of very powdery snow which made walking not unpleasant as long as we wore our snow grips, so we wandered gently along the front through occasional further flurries.
The snow's very pretty but, to be honest, I think we're ready for a change. Nature certainly is, with green shoots appearing from the bulbs and along the branches of shrubs, and the birds noisy with their songs in the mornings - even if it is snowing.
For some, the snow is a bit of a nuisance. The dipper pair were active along the burn but struggled to claim their usual vantage points on top of the boulders.
Temperatures are forecast to rise over the next few days and the next precipitation is supposed to be rain. We'll be complaining about that too when it comes.
