There is a good frost this morning but nothing approaching  that . I think that was the time we had 4 inches of ice on the marina.

When they cut the Italian cruiser out of the ice on C Pontoon the ice was 12 inches thick. They left a slab of it in the gatehouse.

No shortage of Christmas trees apparently:  "UK retailers offload Christmas trees for £1 or less as shoppers stay away"

Gosh, I hadn't noticed that the clock was not there. Most recent earlier visit to Sheffield basin was 22 December 2021, when the most relevant picture was:

from which this crop works OK:

Clock was there then. Can't find any web resources to say where or why it has moved or when it might return.

 Speaking the guy that owns the building when it first disappeared about 6 month ago it went for refurbishment, It came back all sorted with new internals running on solar power. It has only been removed this week. looking at where it was positioned it wouldn’t get much sun for power, maybe it’s being moved to a more suitable spot on the building???
