Worcester In Flood-time

[poliphilo]

I've been celebrating my 57th birthday by rushing round the country looking at historic and beautiful places and taking of photographs. 

I'll start posting properly tomorrow but as a taster here's a picture I took on the way home. This is Worcester cathedral with a lake in the foreground that is normally playing fields.

A friend of mine tells me he has taken a rowing eight round the (horse)racecourse at times like these. Great cathedral, too, Bad King John is buried there.

This is what you get when you put your sporting facilities on a flood plain.

I have a soft spot for Bad King John- probably because he's one of history's underdogs- but also because I share his taste for big red india rubber balls.
