Wivenhoe in flood

Not much happening in our yard at present - we have had so much rain recently and the ground is totally sodden. Today my ride- on mower became bogged just backing it out of the shed where it is kept. It is still bogged and is covered with a tarp as more rain is on the way.

This afternoon we went up to see Wivenhoe in flood - all the flood gates are open on the dam wall and the sight was quite spectacular -  a mini Niagara falls!

I am heavily into some academic work at present so there will be less posting  - well until we can get back into the yard if it ever dries out
