High and uncontained, in that the stream had come up over its bank during the night. I did try to take a picture of the new tidemark, to the left of this snap, but for some reason those snaps came out very pale and unattractive. There is a button on the computer called enhance but I have yet to take a look. So this one instead.
Taken at about the same place as the last one, that is to say at the point down Longmead Road where the stream used to flood over the road on a reasonably regular basis, but pointing northeast rather than southeast. Don't know what they did to the stream to stop the flooding.
See reference 1 for a snap of the last big tidemark, rather nearer the road than yesterday's.
Yesterday was also the day of the referendum and our polling booth, the church hall behind Christchurch, started the day in the middle of a small pond. The council were on the case and had men there doing stuff before we got there at around 1000. They had even been to Screwfix to get some nifty brown paper matting to lay down in the back of the church so that we did not mess up the carpet while they sorted out the path that we should have been using around the outside.
