We went for a walk this afternoon at another favourite haunt, Millyford Bridge near Emery Down in the New Forest. The river there, the Highland Water was as expected full to overflowing and at some stage recently had been a lot fuller looking at the debris left on the river banks.
The Highland Water,
much fuller than usual.
Since my school days (a long time ago!) I have kept an eye on this ox bow lake. Normally there is little if any water in it but today it was quite full - the photo doesn't do it justice as the far part of it can't be seen.
There are small streams flowing well everywhere.
Reflection.
Blue sky......
..... a nice bright day again. No need for gloves by the end of the walk!
Water where it shouldn't be!
Driving back home along the M27, between junctions 2 & 3 eastbound, I tried to take a photo of the floods alongside the motorway on the Broadlands Estate. The flood has gradually been getting bigger and deeper, in fact last weekend most of the fields were flooded with just the top of fence posts and trees and bushes outlining the field boundaries, an amazing amount of water.
