We end the year with no sign of a let up in the weather which has filled the land to capacity with water and so much so that springs have formed in unexpected places, fields have found themselves as waterbird paradises, the rivers just can't fall or clear and people are suffering extreme Seasonal Adjustment Disorder. The winter river season looks like it might never happen unless we get a cold northerly blow that dries the air and freezes the ground solid till March, effectively stopping the flow in its tracks.

The Winter River Season — So Far!
The River Sowe at Longford, Coventry. It's been over its banks three or four times in recent months and whenever it's been contained within them it's been only just. Longford Park was underwater at one point and I've never seen that happen before. Even my spaniels were amazed by the transformation of their daily haunt.

All the front matter done and dusted, the introduction and 7 chapters complete with illustrations and the layout all set up for full bleed, perfect page design, footers and headers all working as they should and all I have to do now is keep going till the end, save it as as big pdf file and send off for the first proof copy hopefully by end of January.
