Snow on Sunday Morning

Snow from the bedroom window
Woke up this morning to 6 inches (15 cm) of snow outside, dumped overnight. It’s all white and quiet outside. The roads are all blocked and public transport is off. Time for porridge and then walk round to Pollok Park to see the Highland Cattle.

Update 14:00. A nice 2 hour walk round to Pollok Park, crunching our way through fresh snow. Saw two small deer, one chasing the other through the Park, but they moved too fast to get pictures. Very pretty with the snow on all the trees and buildings, and the White Cart Water flowing through the middle of the Park.

On the way back, we passed by several of Pollok’s herd of Highland cattle, all in their element in the snow.

    “What no footprints in the back garden?” exclaimed Riona?!

    No, we like to keep it smooth as long as possible.

    No, you need a child to be able to really act like one (or at least to have an excuse to be daft in public). That explains a lot about my 2 brothers…
