In the seventeenth century Watford had become sufficiently important to have a service of carriers to London but in those days the River Colne had to be forded on entering the town. Sometimes the water was as high as the saddles of the riders. Since then the waters of the Colne have fed breweries and paper mills. Today they flow gently through the town to be enjoyed by visitors to Hertfordshire in England.

Life During a Coronavirus Pandemic: Snow and Ice in Week 47
During week 47 of lockdown in England due to the coronavirus pandemic the vaccination continues its roll-out as new, small centres open. At last transmission rates are coming down which could be due to the vaccination programme or the effect of the third national lockdown. Thanks to the arrival of Storm Darcy, the weather is bitterly cold and snow and ice warnings are in place in large areas of the UK. The Prime Minister starts to talk about easing lockdown restrictions but makes no promises. We are constantly reminded we must continue to follow lockdown rules.
