A Bit Damp

This is the River Mole  just outside Cobham. I went there today to take advantage of 10p per litre off petrol at Sainsbury and to pop into the Waitrose there. The flooding of the River Mole (normally more of a stream that one might paddle across) was spectacular (in a bad way). The nearest monitoring station is Downside Bridge - which is probably (but not certainly) here.
