A colourful scene in the park now that all the trees are in leaf. The blossom on the Manna Ash tree is especially lovely this year. With thanks to Yvonne Hewett for the photo.

We now have an emergency throwline in the park. Let’s hope we don’t need it, but worth mentioning that the river can be deep in places, and the silty riverbed can make it difficult to get out.
