Well this year will be different. I am going to write up every interesting day out! Deffo. And catch up with past missing ones….now there is a challenge.

So first hill of the year started with a bang…Anne Marie skidded on ice while driving up the road to loch an Eilean and pranged her car on both sides on the wee bridge. More of that later.

We met dot and had a lovely walk through the frozen birch trees to the top of the hill. Once at the top the higher hills just popped out of the mist and returned. Coming and going. We decided to head back the same way and then once at the bottom the day was so nice Anne Marie and I decided to continue round the loch. Glad I bought snacks and hot chocolate from my birthday box. Thanks Kai.

Once back at Anne Marie’s car it was not happy. We managed to get it back to mine but it needed the break down folk to come and take it home. I drove Anne Marie home. Temperatures were dropping freezing fog and more snow on the way……winter is here.
