Christmas deliveries on hold in NW Highlands


Greetings from the Winter Wonderland of Torridon.

We're still here and the local roads are still impassable. The Royal Mail van has apparently been stuck since Friday.

The mountain snowscape is stunning, but the ice is making my paws a wee bit sore. Maybe I should ask Santa for some boots?

    1. Thank you for your sympathy Leah. My paws are not properly sore like before, just a little bit tender on the ice. Red wellies I think would be good. Enjoy the snow!

  3. Beautiful. And being snowed in is a good excuse to miss the Tuesday meeting.

  4. Lovely photography. Wellies should match the all weather coat Bertie don't you think. Stay safe

  5. We think a nice traditional green pair would look marvy with your new sweater!

    1. Gosh, maybe a green, a blue and red pair then? After all, I have been a "good boy" (mostly) this year.

  6. Good Grief.....Bertie that is a lot of snow and I bet the pieces are sharp and most uncomfie. Dad once fell on broken frozen snow and hurt his paw so we send sympathy. OMCs wonder where the driver of the Royal Mail truck went? It looks deserted in that area.

    That being said the vistas are gorgeous wow!!! I hope and purr the temps warm up soon so the roads are passable.
    Hugs madi your bfff

  7. Bertie, it all looks very beautiful. You look so smart in your warm blue coat, so a pair of red boots would just complete the ensemble to perfection !

    Love,

    A range of boot colours sounds like a plan - not to mention, bright!!! Deep and heavy frost here, but no snow yet. Off back to the hutch tomorrow. My heating broke down... in sympathy with the ROF and Jenn (Canada). Sigh... hugs and wags YAM-aunty xxx

  10. That does look so beautiful. Our Angel Greta wore boots when the temps got sub zero. She took too long potty BOL!

  11. What beautimous snow you get Bertie. I'm not sure about the whole boot thing as I can't stand to even have Mama put my socks on! We hope things melt a bit soon!

  12. Crikey Bertie ..... thanks for remembering me!! That snow looks fantastic mate but your poor tootsies must be freezing. You sure do need boots. Tell Gail to buy you some Aussie ugg boots. They'd keep your poor old feet warm. Mum wanted to send you my Christmas card but she didn't have your email address so she'll do a special Christmas post for everyone she missed out on. You included, aye?? Don't freeze to death over there, will you. It sure look pretty. Wish we could have a white Christmas one year.

  14. Do you know how to snow board? Or maybe a sled?

    Your Pals,

  15. I think you have more ice and snow than the North Pole. Maybe those poor starving polar bears should come to Torridon.
    Happy White Snow, well Bertie I am sure you are making it yellow.
