The River Glyme feeds the Thames from north Oxfordshire rather than the rain-lashed Cotswolds, and I gather that it's well-defended by sluice gates, as well as by the watermeadows and by the engineered lakes of Blenheim Park, so this part of the county hasn't been as hard hit as Witney or Oxford. I've seen it wetter, earlier in the year; and the drainage ditch around my street doesn't even have continuously flowing water, as it normally does after a few days of heavy rain. So calling this post 'Woodstock in Flood' is an exaggeration. Nonetheless, I took a walk along part of the bank of the Glyme early this afternoon, camera in hand, and the results can be seen here:
I also took some still pictures which can be found here, including some gratuitous pictures of my neighbour's cats, confused by the waterlogging of their playgrounds. Here is Poppy:
and an early evening excursion into Blenheim Park garnered this picture of the bridge across the lake, sitting slightly lower in the water than normal:
