Well people, time again to be on alert as the water levels rise. Rain is predicted however all I see from my office window, which is right on the river, is blue sky and sunshine.
Over the last week we have been experiencing afternoon storms so we may see the water levels rise even further.
Take care on your travels.
Rachael 🙂
