Ravenswood
This Georgian House, sadly flanked by one of the worst examples of instant 20th-century 'temporary' buildings, was the local health clinic but now houses the offices of the Regional Assessor. I hope that the dustbins are in such a prominent spot only because it is bin day, but I fear that the yellow plastic container of sand and salt is permanent.

Ravenswood
The modern block on the right is the offices of the health board. I don't know what use is made of the blockhouse beyond, whixch looks as if it was left over from the War.

Snowdrops
As soon as the recent deep snow melted, snowdrops have appeared all over the place. These ones are in a garden in New Road, and have pushed their way up through a layer of slate chips.
