29 September; Seeing a story in the Gazette of Mandale Meadow being described as “like a river” because of the heavy rain I decided on a short evening walk down the gravel path to the pond and back. The beck was pretty full, the pond and suds had plenty of water (what a contrast to five days ago) and there were some puddles on the paths but nowhere near as much standing water as on March 16th after the rain that weekend. Our new fence is looking good and, despite the failing light, some Autumn colour to be seen.. |
