Cooling Down

After quite a heated and at times fractious parish council budget meeting last night, it was good to get out into the chill foggy air this morning. Sub-zero overnight temperatures had left the countryside a little easier to walk on, with the previously muddy ground rock hard underfoot.

I don't want to use up all my extras, so there are a few other shots on my Flickr account. As ever, there were times I wanted a lens that was back at home, including for a delightful flock of long tailed tits that were playing by the river edge.

But how could I not go with this shot? Apparently we have quite a thriving wild swimming group that use one of the local flooded quarries, but are currently unable to because of covid closures. It's important, I am told, to retain acclimatisation to the cold water, hence this opportunity.

Rather her than me, I think.
