Back in Blandford today and at another great place by the River Stour to stop and have a little picnic.

Nice place to stop for a little picnic alongside a very flooded River Stour in Blandford.

An Otter even appeared here, but I wasn't able to get a good enough image unfortunately.

Walking across the Mortain Bridge, which crosses the River Stour in Blandford. Even though it's a nice day, because of several days rainfall, the river is very high with some areas even flooded.
