In 1998, we experienced some dust storms that were reminiscent of desert life.

Millenium year brought devastating flooding. Fortunately no houses in Kellington were affected, but several came very close to being flooded, with water nearly up to their back doors. Some residents were evacuated to Selby Leisure Centre, and the only way in and out of the village was via Low Street.

The Old Willows on the Devil's Elbow

How many people, I wonder watched the gradual disappearance of the clump of old willows on the Devil's Elbow? In 1990, a Little Owl was often to be seen perched in the middle of the 3 trees. These photos were taken over an 8 year period, between 1990 and 1998.
