Our scheduled Meet was on 29th July 2018 and the weather forecast was right - rain all day - rain at long last. Would this mean an end to worrying about fruit trees and riverside berries and nuts surviving into the autumn and winter to provide food for wildlife? After a few more odd days of rain - this now seems likely, grass has quickly turned green again, new shoots are rapidly appearing on riverbank vegetation and berries are ripening.

Our Meet on 29th July was partially postponed, with an increasingly large haul of items left in the river and retrieved the following Sunday, 5th August, including a bicycle, supermarket trolley and three traffic cones. The weather was dry and hot again by then with blackcaps and a garden warbler singing. Meanwhile on 29th two intrepid group members braved the rain and collected two bags of rubbish along the paths.
