Champagne on Ice
The extreme cold weather hitting Europe at the moment has made its mark at the Old Lock. The Lock is frozen solid and the ice incredibly thick. Andy drilled a hole and estimated that the ice is about 25cm (10 inches) thick. The boats are fine but the noise that the ice makes, as it flexes and cracks, resonates through the boats' hulls and makes you fear for your life.
However, it is not all bad. On Sunday our madder than mad French neighbour invited us for a drink on the ice. In the middle of the lock.
News got round rather quickly and a crowd gathered.
Even the cat's curiosity got the better of her.
