The river running through the valley is usually a rather pretty chalk stream, with water so crystal clear that you can see the trout swimming....
It threads through the village like a lazy ribbon...you can just make it out in the centre of this picture..
..but the 2nd wettest year on record (and more to the point, the last couple of weeks worth of rain) has really made a difference to the landscape...the scene below isn't the river...it's the little lane that the 4 houses at the end use (thankfully the water hasn't reached their houses yet)
and this is the usually placid river..
and that lil ribbon of water has definately gotten fat!
Hope you're keeping your feet dry :-)
Just thought I would drop in to say thanks for calling into my little world!
ReplyDeleteIt's slightly soggy here too, although quite warm for the time of year.
Ah...it's what makes our green and pleasant land eh? Your little world looks delightfully green & pleasant...is that the sea in the background?
