The Trent and Mersey canal, frozen over near Barnton. We saw four swans near here, led by an adult who was breaking its way through the ice, using its breast as an icebreaker.
Judging by the channel they had made from when we saw them at the start and finish of our walk, they were moving at about 100 metres an hour. I really felt for them (Disappointingly perhaps, it wouldn't have made a good enough photo to show, being just four swans in a row on a bleak day).
Time to head inside for the warmth and comfort. My guide to a homebaked, homemade Christmas (with the baking all thanks to Susie, Holly & Tim) is now up at the 4 Manchester Women blog.
Very colorful. Happy Holidays Chrissy. :)

DeleteGreat picture. On Tuesday we had a personal trip on a passenger narrowboat on the Grand Union Canal in Rickmansworth. The volunteer who runs the shop at the lock, and sorts mail for the houseboat owners, said wait a minute whilst I get the boat started. Then we were the only people on the narrowboat. I must put some pictures on my blog of that soon. Fortunately Tuesday was a bright cold day.
ReplyDeleteLovely pic, I like the processing. I seem to feel I need a bit of colour at this time of year but it's hard to find sometimes.
