Dear Blogger
For those of you who enjoy the walk from Dairi-Pak to the playing field, I amsure you will be disappointed when you find all the May trees along the path have been cut down. They will of course sprout again and become a hedge just like those which line our country roads. But the beautiful site of thos overgrown hedge trees has been lost to modern farming. See attached picture.
Guess what? It`s raining!!
Interestingly, although it has been raining almost every day for weeks, the river Perry at the bottom of Brownhill House garden has not reached the flood levels of some past years. True, the water is over the grass edge, the riverside beds, the paved paths and over the Bog garden, Stone Bags bed and fernery but the cricket umpire only has his feet wet and the water has not covered the the Chess Board nor has it flooded into the field as it did as it did in some past years.
See pictures of floods after storm Babett in October 2024
So, I wonder where the water has gone this year!
