Rothiemurchus

I had a beautiful walk through the snow and hard frost at Rothiemurchus. Loch Morlich was so frozen that it was hard to tell where beach ended and loch began! There were many cross-country skiers on the tracks around the estate and I spied small dashes of skiers on the slopes of the Cairngorms. The frozen landscape is so pretty, but I felt sorry for all the mallards bobbing about between areas of broken ice. They must be so cold. A herd of deer crossed the path at one point, their white tails bouncing away into the distance.

I spent the evening playing Spore with Rory. He named our planet 'Sweden'. Fair enough.
