Milk and Honey

You know I think Scotland is going to be totally without snow this year. (unheard of). The mountains are as bald as a coot. I was on top of Beinn Eighe in a T shirt yesterday, (in Jauary!!!). Now Marc comes back from his exploits in Crater Lake and tells me there has been 240 inches of snow. The best I can do is hoar frost so here it is, at least the light was gorgeous. Glorious honey coloured light scythed its way across hoar frosted stubble lighting the iced birches at the perimeter of a field. it was merely a stage to a grander vista of the Cairngorm mountains beyond, beneath a sky that was heaven sent. I thank my wife and children for the hours grace they gave me and putting up with the inane grin etched on my face for the journey home.
