Christmas Eve at Feorlean

Perhaps this will become the norm, but looking at the back of my house as I walked up the track late this afternoon (having been picking up the post at Ardachuple, it not having been delivered here at all during December given the weather) I was once again astonished at the amount of snow and the deep frost that had settled on it, making it all spiky and sparkly on top of the gate posts and across the places where it had not been disturbed. An archetypal Christmas Eve, except we never used to have such an archetype in reality, but only in fiction and comforting Christmas myth !
