Crow Step Gables

Another freezing but beautiful day: blue skies, scrunchy snow outside the castle and molasses type snow towards town. We consider ourselves lucky living where we do as we can get about relatively easily. I know the more southern suburbs have far more snow and a lot of people are unable to get out. I do feel sorry for the old and the young women with prams and buggies who are struggling to get beyond their doorsteps.
I did spot a pavement gritter this afternoon, but it was parked, with the driver reading his paper .We certainly haven't seen any in our road.

My coffee morning visitors arrived this morning to a dust free and sparkling castle - at least in the bits they were allowed to see. I had taken the precaution of cleaning the downstairs loo in case of need, and yes they all trooped in one after another to check on my hygiene. I think I passed muster.

This afternoon I took a bit of a wander and found this blip of the Marchmont roofs in the sun. I love the symmetry and the crow step gables. This is Rebus country.

I would also like to record here that I spotted (and bought!) a box of Cadbury's Creme Eggs.
Surely this sighting is the equivalent of hearing the first cuckoo of spring.
Actually I did spot some boxless eggs on the 2nd january but didn't blip them.
It's almost indecent and against the laws of nature to have Easter Eggs before 12th Night
