Christmas Showers

The weather at early morning on Christmas Day set the pattern for the day - occasional sunshine with showers moving across us on a westerly breeze.

Looking across the Sound we could see sheets of rain marching across Morvern, some of them caught in the low-angled sunlight.  We walked down to the pub just before midday and, inevitably, it rained on us.

The weather has been warmer than it's been recently, which brought this small hedgehog out of hibernation - not a good idea as, although the temperatures during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were up around 8C, they plunged overnight last night, so that....

....by this morning the sky had cleared and the thermometer was showing 2C.  With the day starting much brighter, we walked to the village of Glendrian.  This picture looks across the township from the hills to its east.  The house in the foreground was the last to be abandoned, in about 1940.  The houses of Sanna can be seen in the distance and, to their left, the bulk of the hill called Meall Sanna.
