Flooding

When we nipped out yesterday we were both quite surprised to see the volume of water that was laying across the fields.

The small river outside of our house is probably twice as deep as it usually is, and all the local rivers are bursting their banks at some point along their course.

As we drove over the bridge in Bar-sur-Seine we could hear the roar of the water gushing over the top of the weir.

We know there are flood warnings in Paris which will not be helped by all the water heading its way from the surrounding areas near us in the Aube. The Seine has a long way to go to reach Paris, but there will be lots more tributaries feeding into it.

Fingers crossed not too many more flooded forests, like this one not far from us.
