Seeping from the buttongrass edges of the forest, sheets of crystal clear
water two to three centimetres deep flow down to the lake covering
sections of bank perhaps a hundred metres long and twenty metres wide.
The water, having washed away any mud and soil, completes its usual
tricks. While seemingly polishing and enhancing the colour of the
impervious rock and living plants, it penetrates and darkens the
unhealthy grey of long since fallen branches and driftwood. Grasses,
lichens, moss, pink granite rocks, pebbles and fallen leaves appear to be
set in liquid crystal, radiating their colours in a cheerful counterpoint
to the sombre tones of the black clay earth, sodden wood and leaden sky.

Anyhow ...

Sounds more like our weather than yours -- must be the highlands, eh?

Despite the cold, sounds like a great place to be.
