Flotation devices advisable
This is the Swilgate Road, Tewkesbury at the moment. More correctly its the Abbey end at the junction of Swilgate Road and Gander Lane. The municipal car park in Gander Lane and the adjacent Cricket Ground, both to the right of this picture, are under water.
The various water fowl who normally live in the Mill Avon and the Severn have taken over all the submerged area and we have swans roosting on the Abbey lawns and Mallards making themselves comfortable among the grave stones. The Abbey cat is not amused, he is being intimidated by the swans and even the Mallards are not taking any nonsense.
In a day or two the water will retreat again and things will be back to normal, so we enjoy the sight and the beauty while it lasts.
