Reunited!

Armed with my waterproof trousers and sturdy walking boots I ventured back to watery grave! I took Oddie for moral support, and to alert the relevant authorities in case of me slipping down the nettle infested embankment and into the brook!
Luckily I didn't fall in, or get stung by wasps, or bitten by a grass snake, all in all, it was pretty unadventurous! That is until I found my bank card that I must have dropped as well and which had been run over several times by cars speeding on their way through watery gate!
