Water, Water Everywhere

The Tranquil River Wylye, not so tranquil at the moment

The United Kingdom is being battered by a series of weather systems coming in off the Atlantic Ocean and bringing high winds and lots of rain. This weekend these storms coincided with very high tides and coastal communities have experienced extreme weather conditions.

Further inland rivers have burst their banks and communities are threatened with flooding.

The tides are now heading towards their lower cycle (neap tides), so hopefully the water will find somewhere to go and in a few weeks this weather will be a distant memory!

In the meantime we'll look forward to spring, when this water will have made the landscape lush and green.
