Pond Life - Dancing on Ice

The pond is still frozen, though not for much longer I think. There was one young girl skating there at lunchtime, while the swans haven’t perfected their ice gliding yet as they stumble across the ice to get to their unfrozen patch. Lots of people standing around the edges, wondering and not quite believing, but then some venturing gingerly on to the ice. The pond is only a couple of feet deep, but I wouldn’t fancy a cold foot bath if the ice cracked. The crows seemed to be finding something of interest, but I’ve no idea what it was.

Having had an unsuccessful purchase of daffs in Waitrose last week (they stubbornly refused to open), I risked another £1 purchase in the Co-op yesterday with much better results (extra).
