Tides and Birds

Its another day of wild weather here in Greenock - pouring rain and high winds - glad I don't have to go out.

Yesterday wasn't too bad, so I went out for a walk to Cardwell Bay, a nice little place in Gourock.  I took these photographs there yesterday.

 

Compare this one to the same scene on 13 December - exceptionally high tide, heavy rain and gusting winds brought the river right up to street level!

Plenty of birds around yesterday.

Love, Liz

Floods!

What a day!

It hasn't stopped raining for a few days now and Greenock is badly affected by flooding.  Hubby couldn't get to work and Son#2 who only works in the next town couldn't get there either because the roads and pavements are flooded!

Schools have been closed, trains from Glasgow are stopping at Port Glasgow because the line is flooded at Greenock, and many shops are shut too!

And ............ its still raining!

Anyone got a spare canoe?

Love, Liz
