Ice on the River South Tyne at Ridley Bridge between Hexham and Haltwhistle, one of the visual highlights of my journey from Heathrow to Keswick. Rail travel being problematic at the moment, I chose a dawn flight to Newcastle and then hired a car to cross the country to Cumbria, ears ringing with Lindisfarne’s song “Fog in the Tyne” (1971). Keswick seemed as lovely as ever, even after a particularly cold night (-9°C) with hoar frost and ice on the rivers.
