Radford Bank Flood Plain

[BobClay]

A very interesting compilation of pictures taken over a year of the Radford Water Meadows pictured from the bottom of Radford Bank has just appeared on YouTube.

Please, if you want to 'Like' this don't give it to my post, but to the video on YouTube.

And then the rest of us would have to contribute cash to some central fund to cover them because they can't get house insurance...

Perhaps the odd fisherman, who wants to dangle a line out of his bedroom window. (Yet to meet a fisherman that has anything that even vaguely resembles a brain. (Retreats to bunker ))

Er, it's the Penk...

 

[BobClay]

Sung to the tune of Shenandoah .....

♫ Oh Penk, I long to hear you,
Away, you rolling river .. ♪

mmmm ... you're right, it doesn't work.

 

[Studio Tan]

- yes realise the Penk is the predominant river, the Sow is funnier though !

 

[Gramaisc]

Can anybody play 78s?

 

[BobClay]

I thought about writing a romantic song based on the River Sow. But somehow ... that doesn't work either ...

Nature seems to be doing that quite well .... so who are we to interfere ?
