This week it's turned a bit wintry with snow an' that. Typically, the UK ran out of grit/salt on the first day so the entire country shut down. Not me though! I even managed to do a training session in the Quay House basement.
Note: there is nothing new here that isn't on Facebook already. Please move along.
It may look calm from the safety of Cleveland Bridge, but plunging into the icy waters of the Avon means certain DEATH. Fortunately I stopped myself from taking my regular early morning swim just in time.

As the end of the world is obviously nigh, I've taken precautions and booked my spot to beat the rush. Quick!

Pulteney Bridge and the weir. If you look (very) closely on top of Lansdown hill you can see that Bath is an avalanche waiting to happen. If we don't get buried alive by snow, we'll surely drown in the Avon.

It's that cold you can almost skate on the Avon. Or likely just drown.

This once used to be a beautiful park with no riff-raff. Now look at it. Ruined by the snow.

My only escape route from the cold involves plunging into yonder Roman baths. But I doubt I will survive the drop.

It's getting worse. I'm not going to make it now.

Where's me shovel?

The park up the road. You have to tiptoe in order to avoid an avalanche

Downtown Bath. Quiet innit.

Lack of wide angle lens and a suitable place to stand led to this photo

I just threw this in for effect
