This morning was a big contrast with my walk to Orrest Head less than a week ago which was completed in heavy falling and deep snow – now the snow has almost completely disappeared at valley level, although of course it is still sticking stubbornly up on high. It was a bit of a grey day and it was as cold as it looks in some of the photos, especially in the strong wind.
