Friday morning 0800 am and a damp start with heavy showers , the the river is up a foot following a lift yesterday morning following my post . The height at present is not bad however the colour is still poor . Still mild and the wind has all but vanished for the moment . Will update mid morning as to the situation and whether these heavy showers impact on current level.
