Medway 4..........Riverbank 1

21st December 
I decided I fancied a coffee. I'd had one at home, but that freshly brewed latte, extra hot was in the town with my name on it, so I walked in.
I'm lucky to have a bus pass so, walk in, bus back, makes perfect sense.
Once in the town I wandered past the castle and along the river walk. I didn't get far....
Mm, rain stopped walk.
I found another way round, now intrigued by the swimming pool, the Model Railway Clubhouse and, the pitches......
Fortunately for the Model Railway Clubhouse it's on rails and way above it all (just about) but the carpark is sitting under a couple of feet (40cms) of water.
Pitches then, ready for the wind surfers and canoists?
I was told the other side of the High Street was just as bad and people were discovering just how waterproof their footwear wasn't. 😊
I had my coffee and watched people as they scurried about, Christmas their only thought.
I caught the bus home and getting indoors heard the rain once more turn heavy. I'd missed it all. Pity about the shoppers.
