Port Meadow got a lot worse after I took the pictures, and just looked like a nice lake at the time, but Addison's Walk was completely submerged in places, something I've not seen before. I'm surprised you've not got Port Meadow ones up here, though, given where you live... Over the weekend, I took photos of Port Meadow and Addison’s Walk in deep flood.

Fingers crossed as the client has a property full of elderley people who would suffer more than most if they had to be evacuated. Thanks Chris, your comments are much appreciated!

So I'd imagine the answer is no, but that's only a guess. I'm on the other side of town.
