This morning, with no sign of any change in the weather, we took the car to the northern end of the village where, by walking in the Dunrobin woodland, we could avoid what was almost a gale blowing along the exposed shore.
It's difficult to find anything very exciting in the woods at this time of year, with the dominant colours greens and browns, but in places....
....the clumps of moss showed themselves in vibrant greens; and those greens contrasted with, in just one privileged place....
....the spectacular colours of a dozen or so scarlet elf cups.
Happily, Mrs MW also found a new fungus....
....a large one, this pile being about 8" high. As so often seems to happen, this fungal fruiting body was not alone, but had three others around it.
To avoid walking into the wind we stuck to the woods as far as the castle and then intended to drop down to the shore to return, jet-propelled, along the exposed waterfront, but the castle had closed the access down to the shore as part of the refurbishment of the building's exterior, so we had to return through the woods.
