Sunset over Rickerby Park

Week three or is it four weeks now that the temperatures have remained below zero in many parts of the county. Our regular walk to the park to check on the unfreezing puddle indicated that in part the water has become solid with ice. However, it is very thin and mum stopped us walking on [...]
