The big thaw

I really wish I had taken some pictures of these amazing icicles the other day when I saw them, but I didn't and I like them in their semi frozen state today anyway. This was up on the hill tops today, in a howling freezing gale, but it was exhilarating anyway and Heidi and I got some fresh air...as did my son Chris, up here on holiday...and my sister and her dog Ollie!
