Christmas Day 2010 saw the Bollin frozen to the maximum extent for the winter. It was certainly a cold spell and I don't suppose we shall see anything like this for the next few years.

Seasons greetings to all my Flickr friends. I took the dogs for a walk along the Bollin this morning after a night when the temperature went down to -11. Much of the river was frozen over and with a mist rising from the surface in places it looked very picturesque. Jefferson found a place where there was some open water and went for a swim! He had icicles in his whiskers but soon dried off by running around very fast!

Jefferson has proved to be a water dog. He has no fear of water and is happy to plunge in to retrieve his ball.
