Pity The Bishop

Pity the bishop. Today I crossed the river on one side of my plot, to take a look at his land -- the first time I did since the flood in November last year. The ground that this tree stands upon must lie 3 metres above the current river bed. The tree was broken by the flood waters. In the distance, one sees the bishop's access road at the other side of the river. My plot lies to the right of the road. Between this tree and the road, the bishop built a bridge. There is now a mighty chasm where the bridge once stood. The bridge was swept away.
