Worcester under water (again), Sunday, 9th February, 2013.

Laughing in the face of Carol's predictions of yet more plague and pestilence of the metrological sort, we have set out on a walk of discovery to see if the current flooding is as high as The Summer of '07.

Barbourne Brook has burst it's banks and this is the most water we have ever seen here at the point where it flows out of Gheluvelt Park. 

Quay Street and the swans enjoy the soothing sound of water being pumped out of The Quay Restaurant.

Crowds of humans having a good old laugh at someone else's expense, unfortunately just out of shot.

Swans getting slightly bored now with having their photo taken by passing humans.

On the riverbank beneath the Cathedral. 

The normal level of the Severn is to the left of the smaller trees to the left of Vicky's bonce, if you see what we mean.

Standing on the Bridge over The River Severn and watching the level rising as yet more debris gets stuck under the arches - it's a sport!

Cyclist pedals along Dolday St towards the bus station and The Crowngate Centre.

The water has not flooded the bus station yet so we can conclude that, no, the flood is not as bad as The Summer of '07. 

Gaggles of disappointed media-folk from 24 Hour News channels, fortunately, just out of shot.

Detritus from Wales.

We know it must be 'cos the good folk of Worcester are all T-total (especially the students, oh yes).

There's a racecourse on Pitchcroft somewhere. But you'll have to take our word for it.

Despite the new (-ish) flood defences Hylton Road still floods 'cos the water simply passes thru' the barrier rather than over it. 

Cunning blighter, water.

Oh the humanity!

Vicky chuckles at the thought of all the poor swots in The Hive unaware that the waters are rising rapidly and they will be completely cut off by the time it closes for the day.

Typical of yer namby-pamby American Footballers. Don't wanna train just 'cos the pitch is a bit heavy.

Laughing at the prospect of yet more houses coming under threat. 

We're such lovely people y'know.

Will Vicky make it home thru' the raging flood waters of Waterworks Walk?

Yes!!

But she won't be so happy when she has to return to work in a week or so's time. That'll learn her.
