Winter is here. Well… winter is in Glen Docherty anyway - I found it this morning on the way to Torridon, along with a dose of my favourite light when sunshine breaks through clouds and floods the landscapes in shades of honey. It was a little wintery at home too as there was a dusting of snow on the hill across the glen and some frozen ice/snow/slush on my car too.
I nearly abandoned my day around this point as I dropped down into Kinlochewe and the dreich claggy mess that the weather had become, but pressed on anyway as I was only half an hour from my day’s job… which required good weather… but I figured I may get lucky on that front! As it happens, I did, which is a relief when you have driven a little over two hours to get somewhere!
