An icy Japanese garden

It was a very cold but bright day today; much better than the grey and damp weather we often have. One of our regular walks though the Valley Gardens took us though the rather snowy but pretty Japanese Garden. The sign at the entrance says something about it being a peaceful place for contemplation and reflection. It wasn't that peaceful today due to the number of kids currently not in school and running around. (seemingly not being home schooled either.....)
