Sunny.

We had a very heavy frost this morning and even now in the late afternoon I can see areas of frost on people's roofs which haven't been reached by the sun.

It was too nice a day to be stuck indoors so we headed out to Morte Point for a walk in the sun. At least once we'd gone around the point. The north side had been left in the shade and was fairly chilly. 

That ruled out our usual stopping place so along with a few other walkers we sat in the sun on the rocks right at the point. They're not the most comfortable rocks to sit on except in a few places but we have two children's foam garden kneelers. They are lightweight and good for keeping out the damp or bumpy rocks when we stop for coffee.

Some very large rollers were coming in across the point but in the wrong direction for anyone down on the beach.

There were some very muddy spots on the main path along the top of the hill so we varied our usual route to bypass the worst of them on our way back.

On our way to Mortehoe along the back road we came across a flooded section of road. While we might have got through it as demonstrated by a car driving through it towards us we knew that there would be a deeper flood further along that road. Peter turned the car round to be safe. The other driver must have thought we were real wimps. Instead we took the main road down to Braunton and then up to Mullacot. On the return journey we drove through Muddiford. It's a deep and steep valley and the fields on the right, north facing side were still covered in heavy frost. I don't miss the fun of trying to drive out of Dingles with black ice on the steep bit that never saw the sun in winter.
