The A140 by the Yaxley Bull is fairly deserted
Fun With Ice in Lockdown, Brome, Suffolk - 10th January 2021
There's a bike ride around the usual loop via Mellis, Yaxley and Eye, where the A140 is unusually quiet. Then, the boys do a bit of drone flying, and after that we're off on a walk up to the church and around the back via the Oaksmere on a cold and misty day. In between, the boys are having fun with frozen puddles on the side field, which contain lots of interesting sheets of ice.

The new 'Brome Bypass' has some tarmac on it
The new B1077 re-route is close to completion
A view of the new road
A few cars drift past on the A140
The misty A140 is empty
Looking down a deserted A140 towards Yaxley
Nothing says 'Lockdown' more than locked gates
The Eye road is also deserted
A close-up of a cat's eye on the B1077
Fredgets his drone out
Harry flies a drone (the dot near the garage door)
Harry and Fred do drones
Fred's drone flies around
Fred's drone in the air
The drone comes in to land
Harry tries his drone out in the back room
Red sky at night
A sunset over a flooded field
Funky ice on the office Velux
Fred pokes some ice around
Harry's got a sheet of ice
Fred finds a love-heart-shaped bit of ice
Isobel gets an ice love heart
A boy leaves a handprint in the sofa frost
The gang walk back from Chinner's field
Harry and Isobel near the church
Isobel and Harry at Brome Church
Harry peers in where the door has fallen off
The curious innards of a church tower
Fred's got a nice slice of ice
Fred smashes the ice sheet on his head
Isobel waits for the boys
Harry scoops ice out of a puddle
Isobel disappears into the mist
Frozen puddles
A diesel resevoir irrigation pump
We walk around a field in the gathering gloom
The Devil's Handbasin garage on the A140
Roaming around on the Oaksmere's balloon field
Fred's bucket-freezing experiment
Fred gets a huge sheet of ice
Isobel creates some frozen art
Fred looks through a sheet of ice
Harry picks up a big sheet of ice
