| Global warming may be surprising
us with some extreme weather conditions, but the silver lining to
the current cold spell has been the welcome return of winter sports
to the parkland at Swinton Park, one of Yorkshire’s grander
hotels. Guests will find a recent addition to the country pursuits
available, in the form of ice skating on Home Lake – and they
can even join the proprietor, Mark Cunliffe-Lister’s, ice hockey
team if they take to it. His grandfather, Willie Whitelaw, used to
take him skating there as a boy – some of today’s more
unruly politicians may wish they had paid the same attention to the
dangers of thin ice.
