Another shot from Monday's walk. We had great views over Mount Keen (the domed hill in this image, and one of our 'ticked' Munros) and also Lochnagar, further to the right of this image, and therefore not in view here. I'm just so glad we went on Monday, as I am currently missing out on sunny snowy walks due to other commitments.
Despite the weather, I went to see dad yesterday, which was a challenge as the car started playing up on my way over. I ended up just giving him a big hug and leaving immediately as I was petrified of the car breaking down and leaving me stranded at the side of the road in the freezing temperatures. We think it was a problem with the diesel/cold. But we'll need to give it a run near to home today to see if the problem persists. The sad, but funny thing is that when I phoned dad to tell him I'd got back home safely, he didn't remember me having been in, but he had been wondering where his new tube of toothpaste had come from. Bless him.
More snow last night, so another morning of clearing paths coming up and a golf club committee meeting this afternoon.
Stunning view. Hey, you know if they've run out of Christmas trees at the weekend, you can come back out here and chop one of these down 🤣 my relatives in Finland do exactly that amazingly (on their land obvs!)
@boxplayer Yes, my friend confessed on Monday that she did just that ... but I'm a policeman's daughter, so you can imagine I couldn't do that. Hubby would, in a jiffy!
Wonderful photo, but the temperature -weather combination is very scary at this time of year.
Glad you were able to see your Dad and got home safely. And good that he noticed the toothpaste 🥰🥰
@shutterbug49 No, not everyone had snow shoes, so we just donned gaiters and carried on. Someone had already been part of the way, so had done a bit of trail breaking for us. Then we took it in turns to make the trail. That's the bit I love!
A beautiful scene, reminds me to do more of this myself, the air always seems cleaner and healthier. Mind you, the best part is getting back into the warmth afterwards!
What a beautiful picture and view- I can almost feel that crisp air breathed deeply into my lungs. Bittersweet memories with your dad- but at least there are memories to have.
