After a day of unseasonal heat, a heavy downpour. This weather is positively tropical.

I was up on Oldham Edge the other day and admiring the rowan berries. I read or heard the other day that the rowan- which is one of Northern England's signature trees- may be unable to cope with the change in our climate.

O the oak, and the ash, and the bonny rowan tree 
Do flourish at home in the North Countrie

But not for much longer, perhaps...

P.S. Does this fen feature in a Ruth Rendell mystery, by any chance?

Absolutely! A cottage in The Brimstone Wedding has been abandoned for 25 years, and the fen has come to its door!

Thank you for the explanation.
