My last photo in October should have been the moon – a full moon, a ‘blue moon‘ even, because it was the second one in the month, and the sky was gloriously cloudless. But I had neither phone nor camera with me.
Instead, I took my last shot the day before – and it’s not even a still photo. It’s a video of the River Ure surging, swelling, sweeping all before it near our house. It’s my first entry to Brian – Bushboy -‘s challenge, which you can read about here.
This looks very rapid. Is it normally this torrential?

It’s a river that’s extremely responsive to the weather. It can go from babbling brook to raging torrent almost overnight. It makes for exciting company!

Jiggly doesn’t cover it Jo. It would definitely sweep you away given half a chance.

I was so hoping to see the Blue moon but it was totally cloudy here. I’ve got a thing about the moon probably because I’m far more aware of it in Bournemouth where the flat is. And I hate the idea of people being based there! All romanticism I’m sure but then it seems so fundamental to our evolution . Well that’s Monday’s thought for the day now back to Boris and his bodges… take care xx

A shame about the clouds. We’d had a pretty horrid day, but the sky cleared. Yes, I agree with your lunar thoughts. And your views on Johnson. I won’t call him Boris. First names are for friends. xx

It looks more like an African river in flood! I had a sentimental notion that English rivers generally are calm and meandering!

Nope, you’re wrong. I can name several rivers round here that specialise in drama. This is one of them.

Another sentimental notion I have to relinquish. Perhaps I got the wrong impression from ‘Wind in the Willows’ all those years ago 🙂

It was summer time for much of the story – unless it was Christmas. It’s a different beast in the summer, the river 😉
