Number 4 - Snowman with carrot nose, coal eyes, stick arms and coal buttons
Went to loads of trouble to build a snowman at 23:30 last night with coal, carrot and sticks to find out when looking at video the scarf covered the coal buttons. if you look close around the 6 seconds mark you can just make out a bit of a coal button. Fingers crossed that bonus points will be awarded, but if not I will build another snowman.

Completed in the late 1700’s, the 78 mile Oxford Canal joins the Thames and the Grand Union. Here at Somerton, it shares the Cherwell Valley with Railway, and quite a few decent pubs :grinning:. Don’t bother going to try to find the end of it in Oxford though - it just sort of finishes in the middle of nowhere, not the best town planning by the city council

It’s not been cold enough to freeze solid, but frozen it is here at Somerton #1 Frozen Canal. It was more impressive last year!

Luckily I live not a million miles away from the Great Central Railway. The only place in the world where you can see full size steam trains passing each other. Unluckily for me, there isn’t any snow around here. :frowning: Very cold though. brrr.

This is Prologis Park near Coventry
If you zoom in you can tell they are frozen over, except the lake in the middle, which wasn’t?! :thinking:
Anybody want to explain how that is possible? :hushed:
