The lake normally has 360 access on a very nice path. The tide was in today,

This was the lake at Wicksteed this evening. It’s a good foot higher than it usually is, the bottom of the club shed is now underwater and the path is completely submerged

We could do with some of your water in Grays. Our lake is about 2.5 feet lower than its usual level! Can you mail us some!  :-)

If I'd have known earlier you could have had some from us in Suffolk, either from the car park next to our lake (In the background - Framlingham Castle Mere) or out of my workshop! {-)

Saves lifting the boat out of the boot to launch.

Yup! If you know Fram then Colin, the whole centre was flooded apart from the Co-op! There were several cows marooned in the mere, which has common grazing rights, and had to be rescued by the Fire Brigade. Luckily, being a farming area, patients for the doctors surgery were ferried by teams of tractors, as were school kids and staff etc. The ground is mainly clay so slow ab(d)sorbtion and with so much new-build there was a lot of run-off.Fun for all!

Tony,

My Daughter worked in Framlingham for a while some time back and we visited several times. She rented a house in New Road a few hundred yards from the car park.

Colin, We moved up here about 22 years ago and my first office, before I fully retired, was in New Road!  If she left within the last 6 or 7 years we almost certainly met, assuming she visited the hardware shop (Bridges and Garrards) in The Square.It's not a bad place to live!Tony
