Jackie and I took advantage of our new annual season tickets and went for a long walk around Hatfield Park. Some of the trees are truly magnificent - it is easy to understand how primitive Britons believed they were sacred. The River Lee was frozen in places. We didn't see any Kingfishers but we did see a Heron and a beautiful flock of long-tailed tits busying themselves around an oak tree like a coven of friendly faeries.
