Flooded footpath, Levens Bridge The swollen River Kent has overflowed the public footpath which runs up the north bank. Autumn gales have largely stripped the trees in Levens Park of their leaves.

Disintegrating tree In a field sandwiched between the A6 (from where this was taken) and the A590 running through the middle distance.  I think it's an ash.

Garden with hen house and shed This is at Two Acres Guest House.  Not so much a garden as a fenced-off section of a field.  Nice though as were the eggs for breakfast!

The Hare and Hounds Typical of a village pub that has survived this is more of a restaurant than a pub now.  I'd had a very pleasant meal here the previous evening and had had to return in order to retrieve my camera, which I'd left behind.
