A WALK ON THE WHITE SIDE

After many, many years of green Christmases (remember we live in a maritime climate) this year turned out to be a 110% White Christmas (i.e. complete with snowfalls throughout the day).

Loaded with the champagne and house shoes we headed off across the grassy 'Cut' (small area of moorland) that lies between our house and our friend's house in Bearsden. Christmas dinner was due to start at 12:30 pm so this is us heading off at mid-day.

Kilmardinny Loch was frozen over and all the birds were huddling on the island in the middle. Again that is the lighting 'au natural'.

Coming up the lane to Manse Road (and Grange Road intersection) in Bearsden this granny and her grand-child were heading towards us. I did alter this photograph i.e. reduced the shadows.

Finally Maggie's Japanese maple at her front gate. Quite lovely in the winter sunshine. Time to head inside and pop the corks!
