Over the 12 years or so that we've been here, we've seen an increase in summer droughts and winter rains. It could be a short-term thing, or not. At the moment, the river just down the road is quite high, but it has not yet flooded. I have seen it cover the road before now.
The people who run the restaurant down there are a bit worried. The water level is dropping now, it's about two feet lower that it was yesterday, but if we get another good storm, that will change.
The mill up the road looks a bit precarious too...
In relation to the ice age cycle we are in a period of moderate warming. We arer experiencing an inter-glacial period where we are nearer to the next ice age than the previous on.
