Finally there have been some clear skies and the sun has been visible.
And at midday the sky was blue: not very intense, but it was so good to see. The temperature has dropped to about -8'C which is still incredibly warm for the time of year.
But, it's great to get outside. I am enjoying 'dementia skiing': using nordic walking poles. I guess I am just getting old - but at least I get some exercise.

That first pic is especially gorgeous.

Good for you for getting out!

Walking poles aren't hugely common here, but I do see them used more often, even in summer.

I haven't been on cross-country skies in a couple of decades, but I always did like the rhythm you get into when doing it on flat terrain.

BTW, -8C would seem balmy today. We're freezing this weekend, so I'm looking forward to the "warm-up" next week.
