Farndon Riverside pub true to the name.

Trip boat Newark Crusader seen accross the pub car park. Hope it stops rising before it gets to year 2000 level –there was a concern the pontoon would come off the top of its mooring piles. At one time this water seemed more predictable–we got it a week after the snow melt in Derbyshire.

Riding high

Sunday 23rd december 2012 , today Les and Duncan went to various places to get pics of the flooded river.  Christmas might be spent checking ropes and levels.  Last night at 10.30 the automatic message came from the Environment Agency alerting flood risk but at least I can just look out from the bedroom window to see that the level was not as bad as they were making out. After receiving the message one old lady was so afraid she never slept–In fact the level only came up another two inches overnight.
