Footpath alongside the Hamble Brook, Buckinghamshire
I was amazed to find the Hamble Brook still flowing on 2nd June after such a hot dry springtime. Even here, only a mile or so from its confluence with the Thames it is rarely seen; a 'winterbourne' at best and often not seen for many years in a row. Perhaps the last 3 or 4 years of very wet springtimes are still feeding it.
Crystal clear, like bottled mineral water as all chalk streams are.
