Swollen river in high contrast

I met up with friends this morning for a squelchy walk through a bluebell wood and then lunch at a nearby pub.

Afterwards I walked down to the river in the hope I might spot a kingfisher or otter, without luck, but the river was very high and I could see a willow that had succumbed to the constant flooding.  I’ve added the colour version as an extra.

No more Shardlake books.  CJ Sansom has died.  :-((
