Rain stops play

The River Tyne

River Tyne, Hexham

Trying something new, embedded video clip of the river just below the bridge at aHexham after considerable overnight rain. The power and the noise of the flow was considerable and a huge contrast with the conditions seen last week when the rowers were out on the water and the sun was shining.

The weather this weekend is mixed at best with a big anticyclone over the North Sea dumping hige amounts of water all over the north of England. Staying indoors catching up with work seems like a reasonable option.
