Northerly Chill

Spending the usual hour and half feeding all our river birds, I was almost numb with the Northerly breeze blowing right up the riverside. The leaden skies, and frequent sleet showers added to the chill. It is also a reminder that the prevailing summer wind direction tends to come from the north and west, which is the reason we should all be against any ship to ship oil transfers across the firth. Any accidental oil spill would threaten our highly valued beaches. 

With only an inch of snow we are still getting off lightly this winter ....so far !
