Winter

Hollow Ponds

Frozen forest

The cold snap is coming to an end, with luck for the rest of winter, but for anyone who likes photos to remember the snow here are some of Hollow Ponds/Epping Forest in Leytonstone (though also known as Leyton Flats and Whipps Cross!).

A sign usefully reminds people that barbecues aren’t allowed, even though by British standards it seems perfectly acceptable barbecue weather. Hollow Ponds look like ice rinks but on a serious note they should not be used for skating, the ice is really dangerous and melting.
