I decided to take a walk down to the river just after Christmas as we drew near the New Year, I knew we had had a lot of rain and wondered if it had flooded
I took a panoramic of Cholsey Marsh, from a line across the lane you could see the water had been further up but had receded a little
I headed back along the lane passing this meadow which once held dairy cattle for the old hospital, a sign now telling you it was a nature reserve. From what I could see a Dog walk where inconsiderate dog owner let their dog poop for others to walk in as I witnessed from the person who you might be able to make out in the left of the photo
Nearby a path leads to the old hospital which has been converted into housing

I really enjoy the gloomy gray wintry scenes. Happy New Year.

Yes they can be nice
DeleteNice series of photos! It seems that you, too, have had lots of rain - things look plenty moist!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2021/01/classic.html
Not so much now though
DeleteLovely walk there. It looks quite a bit like here, gray skies and lots of rainy puddles and overflowing streams.
ReplyDeleteVery changeable at the moment
DeleteWow that's a lot of water!
ReplyDeleteSerious amount for the Thames
DeleteThe ground is saturated everywhere. It isn't going to take much more rain before we see a lot more flooding.
ReplyDeleteLooks like we have a breathing space at the moment
DeleteWe also went for our first walk of 2021 and on New Years Day in a nearby park area. The river and canal we walked past were not significantly higher from recent rains and snow melt. Thanks for taking us along on your first walk.
ReplyDeleteI try to say well clear were people tend to go so the river was a good bet on that day
