Icicles

There are some really long and picturesque icicles around here at the moment.  There is a pretty good one at the corner of our garage roof, I have put the children in for scale so you can see that today it is about half as long as Rose.

Not only does this particular icicle look very attractive and wintery but it also serves as a good weather and wardrobe indicator.  It is conveniently located just in front of the Master en-suite window so when I stagger out of bed and into the bathroom in the morning I can make an instant decision on whether or not to wear my long underwear according to the size and drippiness of the icicle.
