Return to Snuff Mills

We've had a lot of rain lately, so it wasn't really a surprise to see the River Frome this high as it barrelled through its gorge in Bristol.

The flow was so fast and fierce in places that I was glad Cwtch doesn't care to get wet.

There were a couple of young girls in the river on one of the quieter stretches. Their mothers were there watching, but even so, it was a bit of a worry.

I kept half an eye open for kingfishers - and maybe even otters, or beavers - but instead we got ravens, which are hardly a disappointment.

Not too close, Cwtch!

Although spring has yet to flood the Frome Valley, it's greening up nicely.
