Even though it was another night of minus temperatures, the electric heater in the facility block did the job. There had been a worry about the frozen pipes bursting as the block warmed up but pleased to report that didn't happen. So for anyone venturing up the Erewash to Langley Mill, water and loo emptying can now happen
.
With a lull in the snowfall, I went off walking again. Two thermal vests, T-shirt, jumper, thermal leggings, jeans, hat, scarf, coat, gloves and wellies and I was all set. The fact I could hardly move didn't seem to matter, at least I was warm. And I certainly needed all that gear as the wind chill and strong wind blizzard conditions were no fun. But it was beautiful out on the walk and finding icicles hanging on the lock walls had to be seen. So plenty of wintery photos for you to look at.

I too enjoy galavanting around in this chilly weather looking like a 'Michelin Man'.
ReplyDeleteIt was worth your while as I enjoyed seeing your lovely icey pics
We had about 3inches of fine icey snow that blew and drifted into deep white waves, very strange.
Anyway, take care out there and roll on warmer times that don't require so many layers of clothing, eh?

Thanks, Ann and Keith. It's a balmy 2 degrees at present, a positive heat wave! Xxx
