Only those reading from overseas will be unaware that the UK is currently undergoing (what is for us, anyway) an exceptionally cold period. Things aren’t too severe down here in the south west, but I was still too wimpy to go paddling in this weekend’s subzero temperatures and bracing winds. My bad shoulder is my official excuse …
Instead, today we headed to one of the places that has recently become one of our favourite haunts; the RSPB Reserve on the Arne Peninsula overlooking Poole Harbour. Yes, we’re members of the RSPB; middle age looms.
