It's been really cold the past few days. Playground are icy so children are often kept in at break and lunch times. So, even though there's not a lot of gardening to be done, it's great to be able to get out for a short time and experience the cold, see the frost sparkle, touch a piece of ice and feel the hard frozen ground beneath your feet.
We found this spectacular piece of ice hanging from our rainwater collection bucket at Ravensbury. Of course, as I marvelled at the shapes, the children just wanted to smash it!
