In Traffic Jams

I am often stuck in traffic on my way to work. Which can get me angry and frustrated. But then I try to relax and look around. (Put handbrake and neutral on first, I did once roll into someones bumper while looking at a winnebago...)

This week, I was mostly stuck outside this lovely building. Angusfield House was built in 1904 as a home, then became a school in the 1930s and then a residential home.

The house is unusual for Aberdeen in that its style is a very chunky and muscular Queen Anne, on a very grand scale. Most of Aberdeen is Classical or Gothic.

I also loved the Christmassy look of the lit windows which reminded me of an advent calender.
