caddyman | No frozen ducks' bums...

So I made it up to St James's Park at lunchtime (yesterday, now) and remembered to take my camera with me.

Sadly, it wasn't as cold as it has been and not only was there was no new frost, but there was a minor thaw setting in. On the section of the lake nearest the palace there was no ice, but as I wandered up the length of the park toward Horse Guards', the ice was still there and still dry on top. I hung around and took a few photos, but not many. I've stuck a couple behind the cut simply because it's so rare for such large expanses of water (albeit still water) to freeze in London at any time. It's supposed to get colder again tomorrow, so I'll keep the camera with me and see if anything else presents itself.

In the meantime, here's the obligatory touristy snap of Buck House in the chill of early January...
