A Rainy Day Walk

Our walk had been arranged for 10.30am but was delayed until 1.30pm as the forecast said it would stop raining by then.  It was wrong and it kept on raining right up to 2.30pm and then it stopped and the sun came out. We headed round my morning walk route but even that was flooded in places and very muddy so we kept to the tarmac area as much as possible. 
The Esk was in full flow but not at dangerous levels just big 
The stone Turtle at the Suspension Bridge is well built and managed to survive the flood.  
The Wauchope was the first to come down in flood but was well contained. Our walk ended with tea at Whitshiels Cafe and despite the weather the conversation was excellent and we enjoyed ourselves.
