My ‘Pending comment now has a home and I can upload some photos, too:
4″ of snow and Muiravonside looked quite desolate amongst the felled trees. The burbling brook (yea, I know we don’t have Brooks as such in Scotland but it reads better, ok?) sounded hollow and looked darkly intimidating. Fire lighting was seriously difficult but showing and then building igloos out of wonderfully compressible dry snow made the day a fairly rare event. Pictures from the activity are evocative of the enjoyable learning which was achieved but I don’t know how best to make them available here.
