I'm not surprised the ducks were tempted though. The lake is a 'Capability' Brown construction - designed for admiration and to entice. Which Croome does, even in such cold conditions. The 1940s tea room is slightly alarming though. It's housed in the sick quarters of the former RAF base on the site. I was just glad they hadn't decided to extend the wartime theme to ration the butter and sugar in the recipes.

Poor duck! How hard must he have hit the ice to crack it...?
Don't worry - there were no corpses in the vicinity. I imagine pride took the bruising, the ice wasn't that thick or hard.

I never been here, will have to visit. It looks beautiful. :-)
It is lovely. Maybe wait for the spring though...
I will take your advice, maybe we can arrange some kind of Pow Wow field trip!!
