It’s frost – hoar frost, quite thick in places, especially where the sun hasn’t shone. We’ve had no snow here – yet – but the frost resembles snow here and there. The air is certainly very cold, but there’s only the lightest of breezes, and the sunshine, from a clear blue sky, is warm. It’s a great afternoon for these quiet hills (I only met one other person. Where were they all?)
