There was just a smattering of frozen snow on the pavements outside our flat this morning but walking up to where the car was parked it turned into a frozen inch or so. Scratchy, icy snow, not fit for making snowballs. The Ochills always make good subject matter, and we are a bit spoilt at work with our view of the Wallace Monument, someone has planted a nice hedge which is glowing red at this time of year, it frames the picture nicely.
