Those cold nights when we were happy to snuggle up by the fireside behind closely drawn curtains, seem so long ago after such a glorious summer. I thought that this picture taken at a dinner party this winter had that special something that brought back memories of those cosy evenings.
I thought that as we are now sweltering in 32 degrees ( hotter than most of the continent ) that it would be rather nice to view this picture I took back in January. It shows the Norfolk Broads completely frozen over, and reminded me of Shackleton's ship trapped in the ice when he was exploring for the elusive North West Passage.
