November is notorious for flooding and today lived up to expectations. It had rained hard all night and was still tipping it down when I cycled into town for lunch with a friend. Surprisingly, and if you dress up properly, and cycling in the rain can be quite exhilarating.... This photo was taken on my way home. Water where the green fields should be, and the river having burst it's banks. Sheep marooned on a small raised island. Swans where there should be silage. Floods make everything unfamiliar. I was remembering Lucy Boston's Green Knowe books which I read as a child.
