How does that saying go? “What a difference a day makes”. I went for a walk yesterday to get these pics. Although it was more of a ‘squelch’ than a walk.
I walked across the field of the Rodley Cricket Club, staying well clear of the cricket pitch itself. There has been a cricket pitch here since the 1930s at least. On this occasion, it was not the history that interested me but nature.
The pics are from yesterday and today with a couple from August last year and one from 2015 when the field was partly flooded. You can see how the river has risen in the last 24 hours.

Thank you, Mark, these are the only pictured I’ve seen, despite searching, of how Cristoph has affected Leeds!
