Flooding of The Cam

The River Cam is as high I can recall seeing it, and it has broken its banks in places.   Walking across Midsummer Common in Cambridge this morning provided more interest than usual - a willow tree has fallen into the river, most boat owners have needed a plank to get from their boats to the bank, and the avenue of trees on Jesus Green is under water in places.

I felt particularly sorry for the boat owner above who clearly didn't have a plank long enough to get herself and belongings from the boat to the river bank so was dependent on a very small rowing boat for the shortest of journeys.
