In Training ……

Early Morning on the River Derwent, Derby

The snow, what little there was,  has all gone and a bright sunny morning was just what the Rowing Club ordered for their winter training routine. Water levels normal and no breeze helped speed them along the water.

I think most of us heaved a sigh of relief that the dire warnings of  wintery weather did not live up to those predictions….even the high winds had caused no damage to the woodlands.  Just a calm day, warm for January and still plenty of colour…

It was though much too early for any takers of the riverside bench…

All in all….not a bad winters day for mid January

14th January
