Snow

We have a choice of routes for our walks down to the village, the shortest and quickest of which involves  a section of the A9, something we don't enjoy, particularly on a snowy day like today when the more thoughtless drivers splash salty slush over us as they pass.

We took this route today as the paths through the woods were likely to be slippery, to find the A9 almost deserted and....

....the village centre empty of pedestrians.

Shopping, which consisted of buying some milk and the day's paper, took minutes as there were almost as many staff as customers in the shop, but as we headed back up the hill more snow arrived to add to the inch or so that has already accumulated.

So, with the small birds fed, we can batten down the hatches and....

....dream of warmer climes.
