Our lake at New Brighton has been freezing over since Wednesday, it's the real deal now . . . .

In 1/12 scale the ice is 4ft thick , so an ICE BREAKER wouldn't cut it  {:-{  we've broken up the ice about 6ft (2 metres for you Euro's) out all round to stop the scallies trying to walk on it , bound to be complaints in the local rag or twitter . . . WE DONT CARE  {-)  safety first . . .

Inch and a half thick ice at the edge in Peterborough. Swans acting as ice breakers on the thinner stuff in the middle. Colin's tugs were nowhere to be seen. then he does have Australian flu - it keeps coming back   {-)

I rescued a duck that was iced in at the Fleetwood paddling pool lake yesterday.......got my shoes, feet n trousers wet but it's only about 18 inches deep and the quack from the duck was thanks enough, poor little thing..........flew away ok though. <:(


I wanted to keep it for our back garden, but with a nutter of a pug to contend with thought it a bad idea, lol %% %%

No snow or ice left at Colwyn Bay this morning.

Not that it mattered because we were all cosy and warm in the clubhouse for the A.G.M.

This was the scene in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, last Friday. Things have warmed up a bit since :-)


There is no club here any more, which is a bit of a shame.

Quite a bit warmer Charlie. In this part of Australia, our winter temps sometimes go below freezing of a night, but daytime temps are usually in the late teens or early 20s, quite a difference to what the UK, Europe, and parts of the US have been experiencing lately. The snowfields of southern NSW and Victoria are a different matter entirely.
