Woosh the Thames gets faster and higher

Update from the two D’s Derek and Dot of Gypsy Rover, today show some quite amazing pics..

“Nine pm and it’s all on around here. Police are advising boaters to abandon ship but we along with the other boaters are all determined to remain aboard to look after our boats and property.”

Ah, our New Zealand friends are hardened boaters now.. we are watching the updates from Derek.  The pic of Osney Bridge is amazing, do have a look.  Derek reckons it will be days before he is going to be able to get under it and turn to the relative safety of the Oxford Canal which is just opposite where those allotments are.. they are so near yet so far.. hold on you two!!
