ICE SKATING in ENGLAND

Warmer winters have meant fewer naturally frozen over venues on lakes and rivers for ice skating .More recently temporary venues have been set up in cities across England. London has Somerset House and The Tower of London .
Cambridge has one on Parker's piece.
Fun to do, lovely to watch. No special clothes are needed, you can hire skates when you get there.

WINTER VEGETABLES

The hard frosts have eased a bit this weekend making it easier to harvest winter vegetables.
 It is generally acknowledged that frost improves the flavour of many vegetables, like parsnips, making them taste sweeter, but it is hard work digging and pulling  them out of the frozen ground.

LONDON,TRAFALGAR SQUARE, CHRISTMAS

Every year Norway donates a magnificent Christmas tree to London. It can be seen in Trafalgar Square and looks especially lovely with a fall of snow or in the evening just as it is getting dark.

Freezing Temperatures

The temperature has been well below freezing for several nights getting down to minus 8 in some places. The skies have been clear allowing dramatic views of the moon and stars.
This is hard work for people who work outside like this shepherd.

Christmas Cards

It is time to start writing Christmas Cards .I love receiving Christmas cards  the old fashioned way in the post. Reading through them gives me time to remember old friends and memories even though we not have met for years.

My cards go into a post box in an ancient wall just like this one on Castle Hill ,Cambridge.My favourite pub,The Castle ,is next door.
