After a prolong cold spell with sub-zero temperatures the River Avon has frozen for the first time since the Great Freeze of 1963. At that time the ice on the river was thick enough to skate on and I remember as a small boy sledging on the river here. The ice was so thick at the time that a local garage owner at Bredon drove a car on the frozen river from Bredon to Tewkesbury.

A sad sight on Christmas Day, the Fleet Inn which traditionally has been a popular riverside pub is closed and has been for some months now.

Not usual view of the Fleet Inn which is from the front or from across the River Avon, here it is pictured from the car park on a summer's evening.

Taken from the public access point next to the Fleet Inn (from beneath a flowering cherry tree) where the ferry crossed the river.

Public access site next to the Fleet Inn. The bank used to slope gently down into the river back in 1981. Then, on the royal wedding day, we launched my wife's canoe here. I swam next to the canoe up to the M5 bridge and back. Over a quarter of a century later the next generation launches a canoe from the same spot.

With the River Avon frozen several species of wildfowl have congregated on a small area of open water in front of Twyning Fleet. The species included swans, mallards, coots, moorhens, and tifted ducks. A skein of Canada geese fly in with the spire of Bredon church in the background.

The Fleet Inn overlooks the River Avon at Twyning, since this picture was taken in 1982 the pub has been extended and enlarged. To see how it looks today follow: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4947
