The Ouse is up again, as expected but not as bad as it might have been. It's going down now. Rowntree Park is closed and it's impossible to walk along the river to town.
Compared with the floods in various parts of the UK and world this is hardly worth a mention.
There is talk of building a marina at Bishopthorpe flood plain which is currently doing its job of absorbing and holding flood waters...

That's a lot of water. Well captured. We've got off lightly in our little corner of Herefordshire, despite being close to the river Wye. A lot of rain but no flooding.
@susiemc@365projectorgchristine@photographycrazy many thanks. When we have a bigger flood the bottom few steps will be under water, the park is inundated and the bottom of the bridge is impassible. This will all be pretty much back to normal tomorrow apart from muddy paths both sides of the river. But whatâs happening in other parts of the UK and all over the world is far worse than this regular and localised flood. The city is basically unaffected, just the riverside.
