There isn’t usually a lake at Attingham, but storm Claudia visited us a couple of days ago: her baggage was prolonged heavy rain. There’s not a cloud in the sky today, but it will be very wet underfoot away from  good surfaces – and the heathland around Attingham seems to drain well. However, the Severn’s high and the waters of the Tern can’t drain at all – hence the beautiful blue lake!
