and then there was snow...

 Enough that we thought a walk would be safer...
 an owl box?
 we headed in a Westerly direction, to Millmannoch..a sad sight...





 the riverbank and roadside have gabions and other reinforcing,but are still heading towards the River Coyl

 The Trysting Thorn

 hedges have had a "short back and sides"
 looking up to Drongan from the South..see the trees on the skyline? They are on Ladies Walk, just to the left of home.
 and to the Coyl again by the Mill of Shiel...see the link from Milmannoch..
 and here is what is left of the mill,obviously once a fine building and a busy place




 Back to Ladies Walk again, this time returning up the way.

Nice snaps! Not that I think there's too much snow to drive though, but then again we are equipped with good winter tires on our cars and all... a bit different to what you got over there, I know, on the other side of the sea.
Looks like a very nice walk, for sure!

I often wonder what those millwrights must have thought as they worked grinding grains, that their whole way of life would be history one day. Every area had a mill at one time.

Walks are good; leave two hands for camera. The hedge configuration is interesting; do you know the reason?

What a great walk. Unused and crumbling buildings have such an aura of mystery and history about them.
From several days of temps hovering around zero and single digits (farenheit) it is now so warm that we have let the wood stove go out!

the dusting of snow is so pretty on the green fields.
