The morning after storm Austen and the river has barely risen. Could be that there was insufficient rain, although Apple weather (as was Dark Skies) says we received 11mm. The river is relatively clear indicating that it is composed largely of rain water. Normally after that quantity the river is faster flowing, has risen maybe three feet, and is mud (or run-off) coloured, but it’s none of those things.

having consulted with the local experts – photo below.

In the absence of a close up of the Otter, you’ll have to make do with Bella.

the general conclusion is that the continuous and reasonably heavy rain hit the ground and … just soaked in! Just what we need.
