There has been a lot of rain over the last three days. Ditches are full to overflowing and country roads have large puddles.

I went out for an early morning walk with the sky showing shades of pink. The River Thames floodplain is again flooded – as seen above at the Abbey Vale Cricket ground.
Rye Farm Meadow is flooded round the houses and cottages by Abingdon Bridge.

At the Abbey Meadow there were two other people taking pictures of the sun rising over the flooded landscape. One I know puts very good pictures on Facebook.

There was thin ice on the fringes of the floodwater.

The sun rising over the horizon was reflected in the water.

The early sunlight gilded the wall near the open air pool.

P.S. Richard says ‘I was walking down peep-o-day lane on Wednesday 27th January and found a hearing aid there , I have been trying to get it back to its owner through walking groups I know. would you be able to put something on your blog to help with this’ Email backstreet60@gmail.com and I will forward to Richard.
