We had an ice spike today! What’s an ice spike? It …
is an ice formation, often in the shape of an inverted icicle, that projects upwards from the surface of a body of frozen water
Well – we’d never heard of ice spikes either, and it had us completely baffled for a bit. I was going down the line of aliens and pixies (naturally), but Caerthan found this article on Wikipedia, if you’re interested.

It’s a bit technical in places, but at least it makes a game attempt to keep things in the realm of science, even though they admit to not really knowing.
Putting aside aliens, pixies, and science, I just thought it was very beautiful and feel privileged to have an ice spike at Pistyll Gwyn.
Hi we were buddies years and years ago in London. You were Ford then. So much has happened to me since it is hard to describe. Got married and fought with hubby for five years, now we get on great! Had two sons now both grown up. Older one is a religious nut kind of like I was but Judaism instead of yoga and all that. Younger one is a health nut you would have to get him to eat a sugary cookie at gunpoint. I have been working with troubled kids most of whose parents are into drugs (back in the day it was kids who were into drugs it is much much much worse when pepple try to raise children under the influence). That work was teshuvah (Jewish term for repentance) for not helping my Dad when he went through crises. I live in a really beautiful countrysidey place in Massachusetts. Recently became a grandma, very exciting. How are you?
