Wet April .. Wet May?

The source of the Thames is not far away from here. And at this time of year it is normally dry on the approaches to the source. You would usually find yourself having to imagine that the shallow depression in the ground could be a river in its infancy. However, with the recent rain we have had, the fields have taken on a completely different look. Here is a view of the river less than a mile from the source  ..

and across the road there is even more water ..

There's still plenty of room to skirt round this water so no need for wet boots. Let's hope it's all disappeared in a month's time when we are planning to be walking across this field on the final leg of our journey.
