Bigwig

A slight sprinkling of snow yesterday was followed by a hard frost last night.  So, I went out for an early morning walk to Spout Hills just after it got light. The fresh-water spring which feeds into the pond prevented it from freezing over. 

I was delighted to see Bigwig with his mistress again.  I used to see them last Spring when we were in the first lockdown and we always exchanged pleasantries.  

I had extremely cold and numb fingers by the time I walked back home so a warming mug of coffee and a slice of toast and honey was very welcome!
