Beautiful photos Keny, and I'm glad the floodwater's starting to recede.

Good news the water has receded & the river is below bank level so the river path is accessible & the woodland areas are walkable with boots or wellies, I didn't sink in at all in the woods & I am quite a big bloke.
lots & lots of visitors & from today the car park prices are lower at £1.50 per day.
A great place to visit.

Thats all good news then, lets hope it didn't damage any of the memorials, and Keny thanks for the pics.

It's awful I have never seen the floods so bad. The River Anchor burst at Alrewas such a pity but I am sure everything will be fine. I can't remember the river bursting there before.

Hi Wendy, I have lived a bit longer than you ,and can never remember such a wet yearThe experts on Global Warming said it would give us desert conditions, I spent three years in the Middle East and can not remember it being this wet! Take care now Bernard.

Thanks Dave M.

Never been before. Hope we can find what we are looking for.

Was quite an experience.

One minute it was sunny, then it rained a bit, then the sun came out again (and so on).
Quite breezy.

Took loads of photos of the memorials.

I even found one from the Birmingham Children's Hospital (a sculpture) near the River Tame.
