The power of water
Continuing our current video posts (or should that be vlogs?), here’s a little snippet of one part of our river, before and after Storm Dennis.
We’ll be continuing to vlog this and other aspects of the garden over the next months, so you can see the best of the garden from your armchair. For example, just along the bank from here will be carpeted in bluebells in May, and we wouldn’t want the “Virus Thing” to stop you seeing them! Keep logging in.
In the first part you can see the clearly defined ‘tongue’ of water. At the time of filming it the river was a bit up, so you can’t easily see the two huge flat stones which usually stayed dry on either side (mini waterfalls in this clip). The gap was just wide enough for the cats to be able to leap from one stone to the other, crossing the river without getting their paws wet!
In the second part, you see it as it is today. Even at the current low level of water, the two stones are well under water and the ‘tongue’ has completely disappeared. Instead of a rush of water the whole area is now almost a millpond. Look how much stone has been displaced to where the ‘tongue’ would have been.
Further down the river, alongside our new field, there’s a big waterfall, which was always straight across. Now it is V-shaped!
The power of water!!
