I walked on thin ice today ...

On our way back from a lovely meal at a pub out of town, strolling through the frosty night, we enjoyed the little crunches of the grass under our boots

Oh yes! One of my best childhood memories is standing on thin ice near the bank of a small frozen lake and yelling to my mum "Look, it's thick enough to hold me!" After which, of course, it gave way, and I had a very cold bath. Luckily, we were near home and it wasn't deep. But I scared my mum all right, and had to stay the rest of the day in bed in case I'd develop pneumonia or something (I didn't). :)

You get big sheets of ice quite often in the Highlands in winter. Quite disconcerting if you don't have the relevant gear.

Dammit, I need to find another walking partner...
