The snow may have stopped falling for now but it’s still cold and very icy out there.

The barrel containing my berry cuttings has frozen with a thick disc of ice.
The steep access track and drive have become an icy slope, and the pools of water on the gravel are solid ice.
I’m not going out until the sun has melted everything a little, but will sit here by the fire and try and stay warm here in the caravan.

I think it’s safe to say that we’re now properly into winter..

The period following Solstice is always the coldest in Winter and Hottest in Summer; as if Nature suddenly notices what season it is and has to overcompensate to prove She’s on the ball.
I have never seen ice and snow like that in person, it looks so magical and cool from my hot and steamy computer desk.

Shivery today with a very cold NE wind. On the coast there is no snow, but I can see snow on the hills of Harris and the Cullins. the sun is shining, so when I go out for my afternoon walk across the croft, I’ll give you a wave.
