Last night on my way home from work the "Gritters" were out in force, I must have been showered with sprays of grit at least 3 times over. This in addition to internet weather reports did not bode well for the weekend. So what a surprise it was when the weather turned out to be so lovely.
I went out for my walk packed up with waterproofs, fleece, thermal gloves & woolly hat - all the usual stuff as the weather is so changeable up here, but it was like a Summer's day and I didn't need any of it at all. Despite the good weather there were hardly any walkers about and when I chatted briefly to the only other person I came across up on the ridges (and she was wearing a "Park Ranger" badge) she said exactly the same thing.
Nobody about - just " Me and My Shadow ..."
