Er, this was last year. I'm sure those with responsibility for water supply in the East would love for the Nene to be in flood at the moment, so they could pump some of the water up to the reservoir at Graffam.

Ah! the Ducks and I will never forget the Nene in flood.

The local news has just reported that rivers and reservoirs in the region are at their lowest since 1921 = even the Welney Wetlands risk being renamed the "Drylands"! The visitor mooring on the Nene at Thrapston Bridge appears to be about two feet lower than is normal even in summer.

At this time of year, The Welney to Littleport road across the washes, Would normally be under 6ft of water at this time of year. People are still driving across

I do feel really sorry for you folks in the South. Our reservoirs oop North are almost at capacity.

As far as I know, here in the Fens we are still under drought order.
