1) It's a traditional Christmas Day walk for us today with the added task of assessing the roads (mains clear, sides not) prior to tomorrow's drive to
Evesham CP. BBC
CEEFAX says the temperature will get no higher than minus 9
Celsius today but it's now gone one o'clock and it doesn't feel as cold as that to us. Freezing, maybe. One or two below, possibly. But not
that cold. Mind you, the Severn is frozen in parts and it doesn't look like it will thaw any time soon.
2) It certainly feels colder down by the river than in the Park or between the buildings. We conclude that the
BEEB's thermometer must be atop an exposed hill and not actually in Worcester itself. Not saying that the
BEEB like to
exaggerate or anything (heaven
forfend).
3) Vicky and passing dog walker, and his dog, watch and debate whether a swan family will make much progress between/along/through the ice floes on the river. Conclusion? No, not much.
4) Swans are happier now as they have found a pool of unfrozen river to mess about in. So, Merry Christmas everyone and wish us luck with our early morning drive tomorrow.
