Icicle

I've seen lots of photos of massive icicles on other people's blogs. I haven't had any on the gutters, but this one hanging from my washing line had me confused at first. Then I realised it had formed close to the wall under the outlet for my condensing central heating boiler - and somehow slid down the line!

The snow is gradually clearing away and everywhere is starting to look dirty and gritty. We are all truly sick of it, I think. But while it's still around, I can't decide what to post on my blog - more authentic "now" pictures ...or some cheerful and colourful shots taken in better weather. I think the cold is seeping into my brain and causing a mild paralysis of thought!
