Very clever Maddie :-D :-D

The Thames froze hard enough again to hold a Fair on it in 1634-5. And then, during a frost of unparalleled severity in the winter of 1683-4, the great Frost Fair or Blanket Fair was held.

:-D :-D :-D

There are some fabulous etchings of people skating on the Thames during the frost fayre.

I wonder what was so special about seventeen minutes to five? ;-) ;-) ;-)
