I got cold feet..

Down at the Thorpeness Meare, the ice has been encroaching and encroaching over the last few days. Now the swans are all swimming disconsolately in the little semi-circle of water that's left to them, where the sun shines for enough of the day to stop the ice from winning.

I don't know how cold that water is at the moment but this swan definitely preferred to have snow under his feet
