England's green and pleasant land

England's green and pleasant land was largely under water when I visited a couple of months ago. I understand it's even more so now. I visited Tewkesbury, Worcester, and Evesham, and found the car parks under water, bridges closed, and river walkways submerged.



I got out on a few little rambles along muddy pathways and through muddy fields, but somehow it just doesn't quite cut it any more for this Aussie bushwalker. 






















Maybe visiting England in winter was a bit of a mistake. It can be a depressing old country at the best of times, but when the full force of the wettest winter since Ethelred the Unready hits you, it's a bit of a lost cause. Nice weather for ducks, as they say.
