When, at midday, the clouds cleared and the sun emerged in a blue sky we set off, hoping the sleety showers that had blown across all morning would hold off long enough for us not to get drenched.
Long shadows with the sun picking out patches of frozen rain that had settled on the grass: it was really cold and we didn`t hang around.
The woods were squelchy underfoot, the path deviating a little at one point where a half-fallen tree we normally ducked under had slipped further down, blocking the path,
but the light was beautiful, the air sharp and clean and we definitely had the best of the day for almost at the exact moment we stepped indoors the clouds rolled in, the sleet returned and soon the light was gone for the day. Not even the dogs wanted another walk, preferring to install themselves as close to the fire as possible....and stay there.
