Clarity

Today I'm up and about EARLY. I mean REALLY early for me. A 7.20am plane to go and visit a friend overnight. That meant up at horrible o'clock. But that's ok, I found Costa Coffee at Edinburgh Airport. I was a little concerned actually - there was forecasts of "snowmageddon" and I was worried I might not make it, so I decided to book into a local Travelodge for the night. Happily so - a photo sent from my son at home showed a complete white out with no differentiation between the pavements, the snow and the roads. EEK. (Yes, I live in a pretty small rural village).

But, as I said - all was well and good in Edinburgh - cold, an inch or so of snow but nothing too bad.

This pretty pic was taken on the descent into Stanstead, the windows were gradually thawing out - there was a narrow band of melting ice that was streaming across the frozen plexiglass. With the morning sun hitting the segmented patterns, it looked really striking.
