A village pub on the Norfolk Broads has been forced into temporary closure again after tide waters returned to flood levels around the River Bure.
The Ferry Inn in Horning was entirely cut off from access in late October following heavy rainfall brought by recent storms Babet and Ciaran, forcing a four-week closure.
Until nearly a week ago the pub was only accessible by boat and suffered flooding to its kitchen and cellar, with staff only managing to reopen the premises when flood waters finally receded.
But now the pub faces another weekend of closures as high tides bring water levels back to hazardous levels.

"Sadly we shall be closed this weekend as yet again the waters have risen," the pub said on social media.
"We sincerely hope the levels will drop soon and can can all enjoy a happy and successful Christmas."
Manager Paul Walker previously said a huge clean-up operation was under way which included ripping up much of the flooring in the main bar and restaurant to reopen.
The Swan, also in Horning, saw similar flooding last month, with manager Jordan Hawksworth saying it's the worst conditions the area has seen in 20 to 30 years.
