Beautiful day with brilliant sunshine but a sharp N.W. to N. wind. Hazy in afternoon + casting up from S.W. Motored via Tweed Mill to Nest, Bogle House1 + Yair Bridge. After lunch took Kelty + walked out to Gala Rig expecting a fine view but to the S. + W. it was very thick. The sun was shining on Cheviot + I saw no snow there nor anywhere. Wrote Barbara2. H. + Nancy3 at Picture House. Roads drying.
