When you got into the wind that was bloomin' freezing though! Went for a 10 mile walk today (will report on that later...) and a lot of the areas that had been flooded recently are pretty much totally dried out, just some isolated patches of standing water in sheltered spots. The village pond at Writtle had a large expanse of ice in the middle, although quite thin and only in some places was it barely able to support a Mallard.</blockquote>
