Its been so cold here of late. Temperatures have fallen to minus double figures, the snow started falling 13 days ago and for all but one day, it hasn't stopped. That's unusual here as we're not that far from the coast. Big falls are usually reserved for Ballater, Braemar and Donside but it is laying so deep here the track is impassable to all but high clearance 4x4's (and even then it's a struggle) which means I haven't been able to get out much other than in the landy at weekends for some impromtu photographic trips to Glenshee and up north - but still, being snowbound has meant that no book has been left unread including the five new ones I've bought in recent weeks, new music has been discovered and I am one hundred percent absolutely caught up with every scrap of paperwork that was behind or due. I've also nearly completed writing one short story.
I won't deny it though. I long to be outside again - in the hills, under an alpine blue sky and whacking my punterish way up some fat ice or torquing up an easy mixed crack. Or y'know a peaceful winter walk would do. God, I'm even missing hot aches....
Anyway, heres some photos I've taken of the last week or two.
that misty pic at the top is one of my fave ever piccies. i love it. get it framed!
