Peeping Through....

.... the clouds and trees, the Cîme d l'Est looked quite stark with its new snow covering, this morning. We collected lots of sweet chestnuts just behind the house before the family left. The house feels rather empty now I am back from my yoga classes, and the rain is hammering on the windows.

The extra is a very hairy caterpillar, and I am hoping someone might be able to identify it!
