Winter in Strathclyde land

After enjoying the first snowfall at midnight, the snow-filled surroundings when the sun rised enticed many to come out and play.

The plan was to take pictures in the snow, go to places further than James Blyth Court. Unbeknown to us, a light snowfall the night before means icy pathways and roads the following day. Once we stepped out our front door, the walkway was entirely covered with ice, hence, giving us no choice but to brave ourselves to walk on it. The slip-proof Aldi shoe was a definite heaven sent! I should also add that buying a thermal outdoor pants (also from Aldi) does wonders too to keep me warm.



So, the plan to go far was aborted. We settled for pictures within the campus surroundings.




Gloves were essential. Eg: Just in case we decide to make a snowman or snowmen aka play with snow ;)

We built three mini snowmen. It felt like being in a beach building sandcastles.




After the snowmen project, we headed to the garden near the Village office for a couple of scenic shots.







One thing I deduced from all this was the need for a TRIPOD.

I left my brand new tripod back home in Malaysia.
