Winter comes to Leyton - sort of!

Yesterday Leyton had it's first frost, heavy enough for thin ice on the pond and in the buckets but not enough to kill off the nasturtiums, though the ones in the back garden, away from the home, are damaged.

The rest of the day was drizzle intermingled with patchy sun.

Same again today.

On my bike ride this morning I couldn't complete my planned ride due to a large amount of water on the path under the railway line. If I needed to get through it was probably shallow enough. As I didn't, I didn't try. There was probably a similar expanse of water under the cattle creep.

I have been using this route for my Sunday morning ride a lot this summer and autumn, but I might have to give it a miss for a while. Pity, as if the weather is good for bike rides over the Christmas/New Year break it is nice to have some varied routes. I could still have one ride north, up one side of the Navigation and down the other, perhaps with a stop at the cafe at the bottom of Springfield Park for their vegetarian breakfast.
