It snowed today..

Well, it's cold and it's January. Looking out into a dark and grey sky, I saw huge fluffy snowflakes falling down. They were the kind that hit your face like those wet and sloppy kisses you dreaded from your grandma - or at least those were the kind I used to get from my late step-grandma. Edinburgh has a mysterious feel to it. It's hard to describe. It's as though any creepy old world thriller could be set in Edinburgh. In fact, I think that the film Dracula with Gary Oldman (one of my favourites) could have been filmed here instead of London. The snow falling just added to this mysterious feel - but it also made me immediately want a hot cup of cocoa and to find a huge log fire to sit in front of. Sadly, it only lasted an hour or so, but the feeling it brought about lasted for ages....
