A snowy Saturday!

It's the half-term break, and Sandy and I have a couple of days off school at the start of next week. The weather has been pretty cold over the last few days, so today we set off up to the hills to see if we could find somewhere to go sledging. This was after heading on to the Lammermuirs yesterday afternoon from Garvald, passing the Whiteadder reservoir and returning through Gifford to Haddington. We saw lots of people sledging beyond Snawdon, and intended returning there today. However, today that proved impossible as the road was blocked by blowing snow just above Nunraw Abbey, past Garvald.

When we tried from the Gifford end, the "road closed" signs were up, so we stopped just beyond the Garvald turn-off by a nice wee hill. Olivia, thankfully, was fast asleep in the car as we headed onto the hill for a few high-speed runs down in the sledge. Great fun!
