Birch tree- Bridge-fo-Allan golf course

Woke this morning to find the temperature had plummeted to minus 4C.

Only nine of us braved the sub -zero temperature for our weekly yoga class and I must confess to being very wimpish. Our steep road down into town was covered in black ice and I am terrified of black ice since I rolled a car many years ago so M drove me down.

Our church hall has the latest geo-thermal heating system, which no doubt is very environmentally sound but it's erratic. It doesn't seem able to cope with changes in temperature and our yoga teacher had to tape up doors and windows leaking cold air in before the class could begin.

Our class began with us wrapped in our winter woollies.

Here's another pic of a ssolitary birch tree on our local golf fcourse.
