Winter Sunshine

No excuses for more snow pictures as we had more snow (a couple of inches) overnight and the sun appeared too, after the low hanging fog lifted. It made for the prettiest of landscapes. Above a picture of the old railway line.

We made it to the crossroads in the forest but it was hard going. Our intrepid hunter gatherer Flora managed to locate a third deer hoof, much to my distress. We tried our best to locate the 4th one but so far without luck. It's very hard going in among the trees and with more than a foot of snow on the ground.

 You would think butter wouldn't melt but you would be wrong!

This afternoon we wrestled ourselves out of the lane and enjoyed a wonderful walk on Penicuik Estate (see above picture, as well as below)
