Bring back the horse ferry by boxplayer

Bring back the horse ferry

Horseferry Road nearly drowning in the lunchtime torrential downpour (what a surprise) that hit as I made my way to our choir dress rehearsal.

And now I realise of course it's all our fault. The weather. Since the beginning of this term (April-ish) we've been rehearsing Captain Noah and His Amazing Floating Zoo. The dates all fit! And with lines like: 'It's gonna rain and rain and rain and rain and rain ... it's gonna rain and ....' - what else should we have expected.

You'll be pleased to hear that the performance is tomorrow lunchtime, so I am confident that summer will start from tomorrow afternoon ...

@andycoleborn - wet knees, wet arse, wet everything ... bloody hell it was wet - there's one thing kneeling in a puddle when the rain's stopped, but while it's still peeing down is another thing - I'm surprised I wasn't carted away ...

Lovely angle you have taken this at Isla, you can really get a feel of the flood.Can't think how you managed that though!!!!! I like the spray off the wheel.

Ps Good luck for tomorrow !!!

@happypat - ah thanks!

@happypat - actually the spray off the wheel might just be a damp smudge on the lens!

fab title - and I thought the weather was my fault for saying I was dreading summer because I had put so much weight on and didn't want to wear summer clothes! so glad you've let me off the hook. Good luck for the performance

Oh gosh will it ever stop. I remember that song - we used to sing it at school. Nice pic of this proper puddle. which has rain drops and everything.

Well I should have known you were to blame - all that singing & cheerfulness. I'll dig my shorts out for tomorrow pm. Cracking (and brave) shot though.

An amazing point of view. Wow... Horseferry Road - I spent so many years of my life working there, I never saw it under water though.

Best wishes for your performance, thanks for following and I like the thumbnail - a real hoot!
