Made in Scotland, from girders

Brrrrr!!

Given that we live in Scotland this weather shouldn't really be a shock but a drop of 20 degrees in a matter of days is nothing short of bone-chilling. No pretty white blanket of snow on the ground here though - just wet, sleety droplets being driven into the body by a bitterly cold and howling wind.

Kids warm and safe in nursery, I set off with my camera this morning in search of some Arctic condition shots. Being out it in the cold for more than 10 minutes had me soaked to the skin and unable to use my fingers properly. I took shelter under an old railway bridge and looked up to find I wasn't the only wise old bird doing so...
