You could say it was a little chilly last night. At around 5am I was awoken by the sounds of wire hawsers being twanged. If you have stood on a railway station and heard the sound of hammers being transmitted through the rails then this was the sound. Then there was also the crashing of the ice and naturally I assumed that a boat was coming along. A bit early but I supposed that they were heading for Keadby and an early tide.
Being a sociable sort of person I got up to give them a wave as they went past.
Where is the boat? And why such a narrow opening in the ice?
Look right. Look left.
Ahh.
That explains it all. All that noise and crashing about is caused by a couple of swans getting out of the water on to the ice which then fractures, back into the water then off they go again on to the ice.
I stand back astounded.
I really must keep the camera nearer to hand.
