| Summary: | panning vbl n When small pans of ice break away from the main frozen part when spring is approaching, the young children of Harbour Deep usually spend their time running back and forth on these pans.

I experienced the thrill of petite panning when I was a child. JH 6/75 Used I Not used Withdrawn COPYING |
