Woke up to blustery snow this morning... whilst was in - almost - t-shirt and short trousers 2 days ago. The SUN is back and the spring is fighting to assert itself.
Enjoy here, this medley of contrasting pictures and the joys of spring/winter!
Spring here? (note the bare soil, trees not exactly green but poking through snow... and the blue skies and sun... absence of full-body-armour-clothing...etc., etc.)
The local hills - sun and blue skies. Couldn't be better!
Meanwhile. Back home at the house...
Bruno the dog is assessing the warmth and comfort of dry grass versus soggy spring snow!

| Bring on the summer! Lazy dog days... |
Back on the local hills around town: lapping up the sun!
Or winter, in its full glory still?
Trip up to 1206m and a very very long 10km uphill slog to get there. As I said to Per, halfway up, "this is one big hill, this one". It was. And it was cold and winter up there. But worth every laboured step up there - fantastically beautiful views and great visibility due to the cold air!

| Storstett, the big hill there is 800m-odd alone. We are steadily making progress up beyond this. My house is just under the foot of Storsteet ;) [Storsteet is the dramatic table-top mountain towering over Storslett (see the first picture of this post)] |

| Storsteet, the hill to the centre left there... looks like a wee hill from up here! |
 |
| Hello Storslett, down there! |
Back down at sea-level, later that evening:
distant peaks as seen in Storslett.... memories of the day's ski adventure :)
