It finally turned more wintry a couple of days ago. Well, wintry enough so that for the first time this season I wished I’d put on my long running tights when I went for a jog along the canal this morning. It was lovely to be out though: frosty, sunny, blue skies, no wind. Lots of others out enjoying it too, running and biking and dog walking and pushing prams. The canal’s finally started to freeze over, which the ducks and swans don’t like as it stops them finding dinner and they do look so undignified slipping and sliding around on the ice. This year though, they've got it sorted. Here are some determined swans dealing with the winter conditions. I've no idea where they were heading for, but they’d already broken a channel a few hundred metres long and showed no sign of stopping. I hope they were taking it in turns to go in front, though...
