The result of seemingly never ending grey skies and the rain that usually accompanies said cloud cover, is dampness, sometimes in the extreme.
This past weekend there was indeed extreme dampness in my World. The Thames carrying all that rain away met the incoming tide and the two watery forces were more than the banks could hold, so a little flooding occurred. There was once a pathway there!
Here's a view from summer showing where there used to be a pathway along the side of the river. Not to worry though, this is a seasonal thing and not an unheard of occurrence. Once the tide goes out, it takes all that excess water with it and life returns to normal.

Oh, Rob, that does look so miserable!! I wish I could send you lots of sunshine. Your photos really do spell it out, hard to believe they're part of the same area. Hopefully the sun will find you guys soon!! Have a great week and try not to get too wet!!!

I'll try to stay warm if you will stay dry LOL
What a contrast! At least you know 'the best is yet to come'!
I don't miss the dampness that is England! I'm always cold there - even in summer.
Love the summery shot.
In a few months it will all seem a distant memory when the country is issued hose pipe bans. ;-)
Keep you feet dry!
Sorry it inconveniences some but its pretty and an excellent photo op!
Wow, what a difference! Glad it's not a scary thing though... :-)
The water channel in between residences almost conjures up images of a waterway for use in navigating neighbourhood.
Must be inconvenient to face flooding even if it is as serene as this.
And as lovely as your photos are Rob, I am just not missing that damp London weather at the mo. You'll have a proper Spring any minute though. Mine might turn up at the end of May if I'm lucky!
