Walk to work

The farmers' had no choice this morning; too much snow had fallen overnight and not even the good old faithful Landrover could drive up a forest track covered in 50cms of snow.

Luckily a few farmers' had already passed by before I decided to make a return visit to San Mames (hermitage and barns). The walk up was pretty but tiring even though others had forged a trail. I got to help out with the feeding and watering of the cattle-the picture shows them drinking from the fountain. A treat, but one I was to regret upon returning home; everything had to be washed due to the lingering smell of cows' and cow manure.

It seems that the thaw is on though as icicles melted this afternoon. A shame, but better for people going to work tomorrow!
