Snow

Woke up without power in Aberfeldy. Twas like the olden days as I washed my face in the cold water, in the dark, thinking thank bloody God to be born in this century!
Our customary walk of The Birks was rather curtailed by many trees down which was sad to see albeit very picturesque. Breakfast was planned for Habitat in the village but all shut up with no power by the time we left.
Lunch at The Cairngorms Hotel. And thoroughly Scottish vegetable broth and cheese and pickle sandwiches. Delicious
Onward for the spectacular drive to Shieldaig arriving just before sunset .
Gin in the bar with lovely conversation with other guests.
We chose to have dinner at lovely Badachro Inn. It was jumpin with locals great atmosphere great food. Back to the hotel and more gin by the fire. Two by two the other guests joined us for a fun fun night of chatting cocktails and gin. What Covid stole was these impromptu moments of connection. And how wonderful for a moment to forget all the circling craziness.
