Much Brighter

After what seems to have been age, we finally got some wonderful, sunny, clear and cold weather this morning. So it was with hats and scarves, that Malcolm and I sallied forth into the winter air for a walk through Shipley Park once more this morning.  The sky was sparkling blue..

And the sun was creating some very long shadows across Slack Lane as we headed for Mapperley Village.

On the other side of the hedge to right of us, the Highland Cattle were seemingly oblivious to the chilly weather and continued chewing the cud regardless.

Their thick, curly coats were just the thing against such a chill while Malcolm and I pulled our scarves higher and our hats lower to keep warm. But what a beautiful morning it was and what a joy to be out and about once more.
