The beginning of May and finally it actually feels like Spring, well down in the glens anyway. It was a beautiful weekend, especially Saturday with much of The Highlands bathed in warm sunshine. Even today (Sunday) it was much better than expected with bright skies and the cloud lifting off the mountains. Still huge amounts of snow on the big mountains and temperatures only just over freezing point on the tops. There is still skiing available and still very much winter conditions if youre venturing onto the higher Munros of Lochaber and The Cairngorms. I still have three more days of 'winter work' next weekend. Will that be the last? Whos knows......
