Extremes of Light and Shadow

..... occur around 16:30 every day at the moment. The weather is so sunny, the snow so good, that there are queues of tourists everywhere. Getting out onto the main road from our little road was a test of patience until some kind person let me out. I then crawled down towards the shops but decided to turn around and go home at the first opportunity. We have paying guests arriving tonight and they are already 3 hours late, poor things. They came 2 years ago and had no problems as the weather was awful!
