Gizzies Travels 2013 got off to a flying start with a trip to the Cairngorms. We could not go to Aviemore without going down to see Loch Morlich and it's resident flock of mallards however much to our surprise it was frozen over.
A place a have been wanting to see for a few years, we arrived with the tide out and the last rays of light catching the old lighthouse at Talacre in North Wales.
A trip to the Lake District and there was still some snow left over the mountains of Kirkstone Pass.
Gizzies Travels have "snowed" to a halt the last few days. It snowed last weekend
and just as it was clearing it snow for at least six hours last night. I
don't think I have seen quite so much snow at the backdoor I measured
10 inches with my measuring stick but I think there was well over a
foot.
January Snow at Grasmere.
Whooper Swans at Martin Mere.
A really great sunset tonight view from the front window of the cottage.
