The source of the mighty River Waveney, Lopham Fen, is a desolate place at this time of year. Apart from a very nice looking herd of Polish Konik ponies, some frozen marsh and the fen raft spider there is not much to see in December. Even the birds haven't bothered to turn up and consume the berries.

I beleieve the ghost of Captain Scott has been seen there too.
But aren't these the famous Bostly Ghassets? To see them is a harbinger of certain...but we won't go into that.
Konik is apparently Polish for 'pony'. I learnt this when needing to find the Polish for 'grasshopper' once when speaking of the habits of a flirtatious person. My Polish friends told me it was 'konik polje', i.e. 'little pony of the field'. This is true.
Me thinks you are spending too much time fiddling with your new app!
Dave: He's looking for his Oates I assume.
Christopher: I see you've put the "binge" into "harr". A Grasshopper isn't very flirtatious but I'll take your word as you have polished friends.
Sarah: That puts you in a group of two.
I'm currently working on puns to do with with your icy pictures...
I'm not happy with what I keep coming up with, I'm lopin' them off before they get out of control....
This work is not a lot of Fen.
Roses: Good work! Icy what you're up to.
I will just groan under the weight of the puns.

That puddle is the source of the Waveney, is it? If you hadn't said, I might have called it a little ooze.
Scarlett: The "wait" surely?
Rosie: How did Spanish develop a word for "ice"?
Z: It could be just a tribute, ery.
I always like your pictures Rog. Reminds me there are nice places outside of the hideous Big Smoke.
