Wednesday 27 January: It’s much warmer today (that’s a relative description: we’re still well-wrapped); there’s barely a breeze and it’s rather grey. The snow of two days ago has almost all gone, just a few spots remaining here and there. We’ll walk up Shirlett Lane to the gate near the top of Ned’s Lane, partake of chocolate, then retrace our steps. The distant views are hazy at best, so we’ll focus on what’s close at hand (or close to our feet).
