Thaw Begins

The temperature was above freezing for the first time in 3 or 4 weeks and the snow, that is still several inches deep, is now soft and wet. There was fresh snow last night, not much here but enough, with a strong wind behind it, to close all roads into and out of Buxton except the A6. I had to go into Buxton today and thought Long Hill was open, since it wasn’t mentioned on any reports, but the road closed sign was out when I got there so turned around and went to Chapel and used A6.

Bit busy at moment trying to tie off loose ends before leave on photo trip on Wednesday. Tomorrow (or later today!) will be a busy day.

Just returned 3rd proof of Lake Light book. Saw the map for the first time, just 1 edit to this and 1 edit to image captions, so that was good. Should be able to send to Joe Cornish to write foreword later this week.
