Thank you all, there's a tale to this, so, stop reading now if you want!
I was out in the car to travel to the farm shop and thought to combine my journey with my daily exercise and photo walk on the beach.
This is a narrow lane I use as a shortcut and the fields drain onto it. The puddle is right on the junction, on a blind bend, cars turn into the lane quickly, whizz through the puddle , splash the hedges,and the water is frozen.
I did my exercise, drained my camera batteries and departed to go to the farm shop on my return trip. But I remembered the icicles and wanted to see them again. I obviously couldn't take any photos, no battery in camera and I'd be driving on a narrow lane, with fast cars coming towards me and probably behind me.
As I approached the bend I slowed down ( it's a dangerous bit if road!) the icicles were glinting in the sun.
I checked my mirror ( Dave Shell my driving instructor in 1970s would be most impressed!) I slowed to a snail's pace, picked up my phone ( Oh! Officer, it's a camera not a communication device. Honest!) and took a shot through the windscreen.
I drove alongside the puddle and frozen hedge, couldn't see around the blind bend, but the sight was sooo pretty, I wound down my window, pointed the phone out of it and clicked. Just as I wound up my window around the bend sped a huge car, adding to the ice on the hedge and splattering me. ( Git!!)
Oh!! The shortcut bypasses the farm shop, so no shopping achieved. Ooops 😉
