After a very enjoyable but lazy Christmas Day we headed out for our
annual Boxing Day walk. This year we took the easy option and decided to
walk along the lanes as the ground was still very snowy. At the Ford we
came across John’s brother and cousins who had been checking out the
river. The River Rea had frozen completely upstream of the Ford and they
had been testing the ice – it was possible to walk under the bridge –
not something to be recommended and something I wouldn’t have attempted
except for the tractor and the fact that it had already been tested!
However I got quite a buzz from saying I had walked on water!
