the view

this is the view from the stables where Teddy and Robbie stay, near Slammanan, looking towards the Ochils. photograph taken late Wednesday afternoon on the most zoom the camera will do.

snow!

Young Angus takes a look at the snow
and doesn't seem too sure. . .

this is the car park at work, shortly after this it started to melt and turn to yucky slushy stuff. the local roads and traffic all ground to a halt, not being able to cope. . happens every time!

snow!

After a lovely sunny morning weeding and being busy in the garden I drove off to meet my gardening friend at Finlaystone, which opens under the Scottish gardens scheme and has a plant sale twice a year. After paying our entry fees we bought some plants, in the shelter of a nice poly tunnel, just as it started to snow. We decided to have a cup of hot chocolate in the tea room to sit it out. The gardens are lovely so its worth a good afternoons walk. It kept snowing. Then it snowed a bit more. Deciding that was it for the day we set off to her mothers for a cup of tea, lamenting paying entry to a garden we did not get to see, but the money is for charity so its a donation for a good cause. After we left Finlaystone the sun came out. It stayed out. Marvellous. Ha.

and it snowed

10 inches of snow fell last night! It is melting round the edges so it may not last long, just after I took the photograph most of it slid of the greenhouse.

and it snowed

I'm glad I managed to potter round the garden yesterday when the weather was cold but sunny.
This morning it looked like this!
Now the snow has started to thaw its not so pretty.
