Wet walk

We have all had some exceptional rain recently.   I went for a walk along one of my usual paths.  It was more difficult  than usual, as parts of the route were flooded.

The river down the road was much higher than usual, but still below the level of the arches of the road bridge, and not yet overflowing the pedestrian bridge.


A bit farther along, the water works by the mills were united into a single lake rather than separate streams.

And on the way back, a dip in the field next to the path, turned into a river and poured itself onto the path.


At this point I had to turn back at get home by a different route.
