It has been raining a lot in York recently and Dame Judi would need her wellies to stroll along her eponymous walk shown here at present. The metal struts sticking out of the water are handrails down to the riverside walk, and the trees and benches are normally well above the waterline. It is also been very windy but that is more difficult to photograph!
Goodness! The wellies wouldn't help much if you stepped over the edge!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that you have had so much rain. Is Judi Dench from York? She is one of my favourites.
ReplyDeleteYes Judi Dench went to school here in York. Her father was the doctor for the local rep company and her mother was the wardrobe mistress, so she was brought up around the theatre.
ReplyDeleteHilarious photo! Did you submit this to the BBC News Online photos page? It's definitely one that would interest them
