This is the bank of the Olympic White Water Centre. Any nearer the edge and I would have fallen in. Today it had about 1cm of ice on the surface and people (including Priscilla) were paddling in it despite the chunks of ice that were waiting to debilitate anyone foolish enough to get onto the water.
Seriously though, being outdoors and on the white water help me to feel closer to the elements of creation. They help me to not take for granted where water comes from in the tap or that rain is an okay thing (it fills up the rivers). Not everyone in the world can enjoy the luxury of playing with water so I'm grateful for it whatever the temperature.
