At back of yesterday’s blip

We drove up to the back of yesterday’s blip. Up to 1300m alt on a rough road until the snow and ice thickened and we turned around.

Winter is up here already. Silent and the cloud coming down. A group of guys loading timber on to a big articulated truck, beckoning us through the tight way where one of the logs had fallen. No one else about, just a few mistle thrushes bulletting through the grey skies.

We were relieved to get back onto the metalled single track road that winds back down to mountainy Cetica. Sad to see the bar and pizzeria has gone out off business as has the ancient store in Pagliariccio.

We stopped to give the donkey a handful of grass.

Heavy rain forecast tomorrow.
