Winter is blue (part two)

in All about me, Winter is blue
And after a longer gap than intended, my favourite moments of Winter 2010 continue.
Christmas night out with work. Now most people who know me know that me and Christmas nights don’t mix. I have a bad track record, and this year was no better. The night always starts out nice and dignified, and ends up a drunken mess – as the photos above indicate. I had a wonderful time though despite the snow, and happily don’t remember parts of the evening!
The long walk home. I’ll never forget the day that the snow brought Edinburgh to a halt. The trains stopped, the buses stopped, everything stopped. Not knowing if/when the buses would restart, we decided to just walk home from work. 5 miles and 2.5 hours later we made it, after battling traffic, walking on busy roads and snow as deep as my elbows! Maybe not something I enjoyed at the time, but defintiely a story for the grandchildren!
Seeing the Gaslight Anthem (excuse the truely awful picture). The Gaslight Anthem have definitely been the soundtrack to my 2010. When things were terrible I’d sit in my room listening to them through my headphones and block the rest of the world out.
No not the ice-cream, the whereabouts of the ice-cream. Winter 2010 was when I started volunteering with the Brownies, this was taken at the Gang Show. I can honestly say I’ve loved every moment of volunteering with them, long may it continue!
I know my love of coffee has already been mentioned, but this was a special moment. Sitting in the window of Starbucks on Princes Street, with the snow falling outside, the snow stopping and the light being just right to catch this shot of Edinburgh Castle.
