Slipped over on the ice...

...good job I didn't have my camera in my pocket, otherwise it would have been more than the flash that was broken.  Was walking back from the horses, where I had stood and watched a large fox sniffing lazily along the river bank in the bright morning sunshine.  He was not bothered by been out in daylight and ambled across the ice in full view for about 10 minutes.  Happily Joe did not spot him, he was quite happy sniffing in the lane and came home wet and muddy.
 My wrist is a little blue and bruised, so I have put off doing the ironing and present wrapping, which were supposed to have been my tasks to be done this afternoon.  Instead Darsh dropped me off at Bescot market, and I looked round there while he went to the temple.  I hung about for an hour and then went it to have a McDonalds in the warm.
  Charlotte is on her way back tonight, but is keen to go back up to Newcastle later in the week to show us a flat she has seen
