    Great excitement this morning!! We woke up to snow on the tops of the mountains!! It was spectacular! The morning was an interesting study in the way our views changed very quickly. The photos will speak for themselves but they were taken over half an hour or so.
    We decided it would be a porridge kind of morning! Our diesel heater is keeping us beautifully warm and cosy and it's mostly on a very low setting.
    After our fortifying breakfast, Paul decided to see if he could entice a trout onto his line. In spite of seeing them, neither he nor the beginner fly fisherman we met managed to land any. Maybe tomorrow!
    It's been fairly cold today so we were really surprised to see a wedding party here late afternoon to have their photos taken. I felt for the bride in her wedding dress in the cold for the 2 hours they were snapping away!! I hope they had a good heater in the car!
    Not sure of our plans for tomorrow but we may stay another night or we might head up to Kinloch.
