Okay, so it wasn't really a big flood around these parts a few weeks ago - but the river certainly threatened to threaten.
Have now measured with the water back to 'normal' levels. May not sound much, especially when compared to the incredible rises they get up North, but our little stretch was running at a level of 2.7 metres above normal. Given that the river widens out considerably at Jubilee Park, that's a hell of a lot of extra water passing us. Most local opinion is that it's the highest level in living memory.
The good thing is that it still had a long way to go before it would have posed a problem to the Caravan park - so we are reassured by that.
