A flurry of snow

It has been a pleasant Easter weekend at Casa Anderson. James, Ally and Cat went on a walk near Biggar on Saturday, now that we are allowed to roam freely in our own council area. I did lots of swimming, setting off fairly early to avoid the children’s Easter holiday hours at the swimming pool of 10 until 2, because I thought that it might be crowded. But in fact the few children who were there were well supervised and there was still plenty of space for everyone.
Today James and I went for a sunny but cold walk with Heather and Ewan and then came back for lunch to our garden, warmed by our smoky fire pit. We had a lovely time chatting and Ally very kindly set up several wind breaks for us to create a fairly cosy nook on the patio. We didn’t realise how cosy it was until we emerged into the chilly wind when Heather and Ewan were leaving. James and I braved the smoke to stay outside for another hour reading our books and drinking tea. Not long after we came inside it started snowing outside! It was a very light snow shower that hardly lay on the ground and soon disappeared, but what was amazing was that it came out of an almost cloudless sky.
