A day by the fire!

When you are greeted with a sight like this there's only one thing to do "Get the fire raging!".
This was at 8.30 this morning and always the optomist I told the fishers we may get an hour or two in the afternoon but as the morning went on it just got worse!

Even my enthusiasm started to go when this kept happening, I was expecting Polar Bears floating past on the ice! We waited till around 2.30 but there was no sign of the grue melting, with temperatures falling as I write I'm hoping that the weather forecast is right and we will get cloud cover and snow tonight but at the moment it is already -3C!!.
