Oh, and I paddled in the lake too, right next to a big sheet of ice. Was mildly chilly as it got over your knees to say the least.

Last snow in the Cheviots melted about 10 days ago and not seen any since then. Plenty of patches still about (as above) in the usual places further north.

Not a lot, but one of the local skiers has managed to link turns once every month for I think 45 consecutive months now. Thats the 'Odd skier' I mentioned earlier 🙂
