Fields and Hilltops

Another drive over the moors to Welshpool.  Thick mist here when we left and thick seas of it (with only isolated farms and hill tops above the grey) visible from the high point of the road over the hills to Knighton.  But on the moors above Felindre the road was icy and the hills were shrouded in mist - a lovely phrase.  Most of the valley bottoms however were cold and misty and most of the hilltops were open and clear.  A misty day generally, the fields between here and Hereford were empty and looked swept clean, distant hedges and trees ghostly in the mist.  The countryside looked dormant.
