The excitement builds.......

The familiar rush of excitement this morning as  I woke up this morning to snow at my doorstep. Beautiful atmospheric day. We spent some time exploring more of the wonderful Abernethy forest. Great views in between the snow showers of higher hills, looks like they have caught a good amount of snow, particularly further west. Hopefully this will be the the first storm cycle of the season that lays a proper base for us to build on. 

Abernethy forest bike ride

With the remnants of a hurricane forecast to sweep across the UK, today we were out nice and early for an enjoyable jaunt around the tracks and trails of Abernethy forest. The biking here is relaxed and easy, with plenty of time to enjoy the beauty. It's almost impossible not to spot wildlife here if you keep your eyes open, today brought red squirrels, several birds of prey and lots of deer bounding through the blaeberry.
