First frost of the winter this morning! Nippy in the air, but what a stunner of a post breakfast stroll.

The colours around The Cottage are really good this year.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t quite capitalise on the amazing weather day, but did manage to get out later in the afternoon on the e-bike.

I cycled up the Marchlyn dam road towards a setting sun.

Good views out west from the top of the road at the surge pool above the slate quarry.

It would have been a good evening to be in a boat on the lake too.

It was an eye wateringly cold ‘free wheeling’ ride back down the hill, especially when hitting the 60km/h, which felt almost a bit too fast for bike travel!
