This weeks 'bad weather pod' has brought high winds, rain and vast numbers of lighting strikes to Orkney and Shetland, but to Unst it has also brought wonderfully seasonal hailstone. It battered the windows until the early hours of this morning and has left a beautiful winter wonderland in it's wake and it is so bitterly cold that it's laying.
View across the voe to Clibberswick
Even the rock pools are frozen over
Where has summer's 'alpine meadow' gone?
Low winter sun
Right on cue it has started snowing, Ethel has wrapped up and dashed outside and in a few minutes I am going for a brisk walk, alone, something I hardly ever get the chance to do!
