Barbourne Brook is in flood.
The river is already flooding Gheluvelt Park/Old Waterworks and so a diversion is required to get to the wall by the willow tree overlooking the Severn.
The dead tree on the far bank upon which kingfishers keep an eye out for
fish is now completely inundated.
That indicates (by our in-expert calculations, that the river level has risen about 6 - 8 feet in just 48 hours and there's still plenty of water from Shropshire and Wales to get to these here parts yet.
Steps down to a favourite spot for local anglers are now under water.
Of course, some folk take it all in their stride.
Look at the fella on the far right: fast asleep!
A short while later, it's a rendezvous with Victoria at our favourite place in town for lunch (Elgar's), before a quick visit to M&S and then a trudge home along the roads
(never as interesting as along the river).
