Even though we had the building cleaned and dried and the water out

within 36 hours, the damage had been done. We had to have the plaster

stripped and dried. The ponds did less damage than first feared and

levels are timed to normal in the first few months. Some wildlife has

benefited because of the high water levels. Some boards usually nest in

the reeds. This year, the predators can get to them because of the high

the wildlife and the flowers. Beautiful sunshine and many

animals. A great day out. Far Ings attracts thousands of visitors every

year and volunteers are glad to get it open again.
