A while ago I posted a view of the flooded Kennet at County Lock in Reading. It was taken on Christmas Eve. Well as usual my Son and I had our trip to Reading and I took my younger son a few days shy of Christmas eve and took the opportunity for a few photos this time with a little less water.
Last year most of this was underwater and the weir was almost flat
This is County Lock when the water is not quite as high though after all the rain we had it is a lot higher than normal.

Nice spot and good to see it in different flow!! YAM xx
Well the area is a bit clearer though the river is still quite high and probably worse today. The Floods you see on TV are only 40 miles away
It looks like plenty of water to me! Hope all is well and that you had a stress-free Christmas. :)
Not quite, after the storm I found we had a leak on the roof so had to go up and sort it Christmas Eve. ATM it seems to be holding so I have to wait for a guy to fix it for me now after the holiday. Hope you had a great one in Berlin
Wondered how you got on in the storm. Damaged fences and roofs with trees down where I am but we escaped with no damage. Not looking forward to the next high winds and rain as I have to drive to Manchester tomorrow. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. I enjoyed Christmas day very much with the family.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, Bill--in spite of the leak!
Looks a bit chilly! Thanks for the tip about Google, yesterday. What fun!
Seems to pail into insignificance compared to the people in Byfleet who are affected by the flooding and what are the government going to do, Zilch. Safe Journey
We did and I managed a temporary fix
No problem. The day was cold but not as bad as other days
I'm glad it's not overflowing! It still looks wet out there.
I have no doubt it is worse today
Plenty of water! Good shots!
Thank you, and yes there is but also more to come
Glad that you are alright so far!
We also have rain in december and less Snow ...
So far but more wind and rain on the way
At the moment its rain and little snow here but a lot of wind on the way
..Oh dear; I do hope that your own home is not at risk? It is a terrible business. The train I am on just now is having to slow down due to the high winds.....
Oh yes they are back. I'm not at risk ATM, the Thames has a long way to go before the village sees and flooding though I will pop and have a look today
