There was something of the celebrated children’s story ‘The Ice Queen’ about the beauty of the white formation of swans gliding towards me across the mercurial waters of the upper pond in Roundhay Park, Leeds.
Saturday, and we were making a delayed New Year visit to our young grandson. Always a challenging journey at this time of the year – along the frozen A65 across the ups and downs of the Yorkshire Dales national Park.
Ice may lie around any corner…
But it’s worth it to see the joy in the eyes of young lad when he spies his grandad and nana emerging from the road-salt covered car.
