‘Summer clenches hands with summer under the snow’. Snow here today, but the sky is blue and bright and beautiful. The snow is minimal, light and cold but hasn’t seemed to frost at all, which can be the dangerous bit driving in the morning. I don’t think we’re going to get much of this snow coming from the Arctic, it’s been a bit of a damp squib, with most areas barely able to make a snowball and hardly worth posting a picture of.
Still snow always enhances the beauty of the landscape, even a small amount. The Pentlands will look braw from K’s playground today, standing out amidst that solid blue background and it’s a shame we can’t get up them rather than look at them from a distance.
Speaking of that I really must see about getting new boots. All my footwear are in poor shape just now. The soles of my walking boots are falling off and held together with shoe goo. The same stuff filled my wellies for ages and stopping parts of them from falling off. Barely. My outdoor shoes smell, though structurally they are probably in the best shape. Even my trainers are a bit flat at the moment. Poor feet, if only you had something good to walk in and something good to walk on.
