Port Meadow

Before it all got completely submerged, back in late October we went and did a bit of exploring around Port Meadow which is a massive open space/common grassed area near to our house. There are some horses, allotments, completely wild areas and lots of grass. It seems quite strange to me that these type of areas exist - there's even mention of being able to graze your animals here in the Doomsday Book!


During summer the whole area is grass, but slowly (and then a lot more rapidly!) it gets wetter and wetter until now (December) it seems like there's a huge lake in the middle of it. The allotment that I'm working on with some friends from class is on the edge of it, so I've been spending more time there lately - and hopefully more when the weather gets better!
